Turkey, 400km on foot for “fairness”

Sunday marked the day of the closing manifestation of this initiative in the country's largest city, Istanbul. Thousands joined the so-called <x0mm for justice”, prompted by the 25-year imprisonment and condemnation of CHP lawmaker Enis Berberoglu, under the pretext of releasing the secret. Where the 450km walk ended, the huge rally against imprisonment and massive layoffs began following the failed coup of the state a year ago.

President Erdoan accuses the hikers of supporting terrorism, but more than 50,000 arrests and 140,000 dismissals or suspensions are not easily forgotten. The ban on human rights activists and prominent journalists has been strongly condemned internationally as well.

Kilicdaroglu has walked about 20km a day. He says Erdogan's wave of cleansings and the establishment of a state-of-the-art state “cross” Such actions, according to the opposition leader, have spread a climate of fear across the country. He says the decision against Enis Berberoglu “that caused the drop to spill the” barrel, and the situation can no longer be tolerated.
