KURDISH human rights officials urged women in Britain to build networks of solidarity today after the mysterious death of Garibe Gezer in a Turkish prison last week.

Speaking exclusively to the Morning Star, Lawyers for Freedom Association spokeswoman Jiyan Tosun called on trade unionists and progressives to support those resisting state misogyny in Turkey.

She holds prison guards and managers culpable after Ms Gezer allegedly committed suicide in Kocaeli High Security Prison.
