Turkey: Cleaning company lost contract after standing up for right to free speech

The company stood by the side of one of its employees who had made negative comments about Erdogan and Davutoglu.

Newsroom March 10 09:18

A cleaning lady in the Turkish public health directorate was almost fired for insulting Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, and Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu.

 

According to Hurriyet, the woman was employed in the firm responsible for cleaning the offices of the Health Directorate. The latter’s officials requested her dismissal with a confidential report on Dec. 18, 2014. The company refused to fire the woman, citing her right to free speech.

 

The contract of cleaning the building was then assigned to a completely different company.
