Turkey – The secretary general of Turkey’s Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions (DİSK), Arzu Çerkezoğlu, was arrested in Istanbul for allegedly insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.Police detained Çerkezoğlu at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport as she was due to depart for Germany.
A lawsuit had been filed for Çerkezoğlu in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir on charges of “insulting the president.”
DİSK head Kani Beko said Çerkezoğlu was detained for a speech she delivered some time ago.
“She was detained at the airport while heading to Germany to visit an ill relative. The reason is a speech that she previously gave,” Beko tweeted.
