Why It Matters
An explosion had previously occurred at the HABAŞ Iron and Steel Factory, killing 19 workers.
Despite the great disaster at the HABAŞ Iron and Steel Factory, where 19 workers lost their lives in the explosion that occurred in Aliağa district of Izmir, the wheels continue to turn. The factory management, which did not stop production at the facility after the disaster, found the solution, after increasing reactions, by banning workers from bringing mobile phones inside.
Tension increased in the protests carried out in front of the factory by workers who rebelled against the instructions of HABAŞ Chairman Mehmet Rüştü Başaran, who was under house arrest.
After the workers' discussions with the factory management turned into a fight and the crisis grew, Izmir Governorship took action and decided to close all roads leading to the factory and blockaded the region.
Smart Solar workers, who have been resisting for about a month, also came to the area to support HABAŞ workers.
WORKERS WERE TAKEN INTO DETENTION
Gendarmerie intervened with the workers in the area. Workers began to be detained.
