Gokhan Bicici
Those of you who attended the LabourStart Global Solidarity Conference in Istanbul in 2011 may recognize some of the people in this photo. That’s part of the organizing committee for the event.
The young man sitting on the far left of the photo is Gokhan Bicici.
He is the head of TAREM, an NGO that works closely with Turkish trade unions.
Gokhan played a central role in organizing our conference and he and I became friends.
Yesterday, he was brutally beaten and arrested by Turkish police as he was filming the demonstrations in Istanbul.
You can watch a shocking one-minute video of this here.
