(8.Mai) On 12 Nov, 2014, 13 members of the union put a sack over an American soldier, as a tribute to the incident that American soldiers put sacks over Turkish soldiers’ heads in Iraq during the invasion. They were surprisingly tried in the court on the death anniversary of the leftist university students Deniz Gezmiş, Yusuf Aslan and Hüseyin İnan who were executed in 1972. A great number of people attended the hearing, from both the union and Patriotic Party. Prosecution demanded up to 10 years for the 13 members of the union.
