The police intervened in the morning against the workers who were dismissed by Altındağ Municipality and have been resisting for 135 days. During the raid on the resistance tent, Hizmet-İş Union Branch President Recep Dere was detained, while disabled worker Kadir Sağlam was injured in the head. Reacting to the police violence, the workers protested against the municipality administration.
