In Ankara, reporters Tankut Serttaş and Nisan Çıra from the Sendika.Org website were detained while trying to cover an action aimed at gathering people under the message “Right to a Decent Life, Secure Work.” The police seized the phones and cameras they were using to capture footage, and then proceeded to assault the two reporters before taking them into custody (December 15).
