Soldiers once again attack villagers and environmentalists in #AkbelenForest #turkey

"Despite the protests by villagers and environmentalists, the cutting down of trees for the coal mine continues in the Akbelen Forest. Citizens who entered the area early this morning prevented the cutting teams from entering the area.
Despite the threats, the people did not leave the area. Thereupon, the cutting teams had to withdraw.
But then the soldiers came to the area, attacked the people and forced them out of the area. The women hugged the centuries-old trees, shouting "We don't want our pine trees to be cut down, that's enough." The soldiers forcibly removed the women."
