Turkey: Trade union editor arrested for calling vote ‘illegitimate’
TURKISH police raided the office of a trade union website yesterday and arrested its editor for disputing Sunday’s constitutional referendum result.
Labour web portal Sendika.org editor Ali Ergin Demirhan was arrested in the dawn raid and his mobile phone and computer hard drive were seized as evidence.
During the search of the office, Mr Demirhan managed to tweet that he was being detained for the crime of “depicting the Yes side as illegitimate.”
