The KESK Executive Board criticized the total 42-year prison sentence imposed on 11 people who took part in a statement in Adana calling for participation in the 10 October Labor, Peace and Democracy Rally. KESK argued that despite intelligence before the 10 October Massacre, precautions had not been taken and that negligence within the security bureaucracy and responsibility for the attackers’ border crossings had not been exposed. The confederation said the state denied its own responsibility, the real perpetrators had not been tried and justice had not been achieved in the massacre case. It criticized the punishment of those who called for participation in the peace rally and said it would continue the struggle for peace and justice.
