»We hope that #Barça is still "Més que un club' [...] Therefore, we kindly request you to determine your attitude towards #LIMAK Group for their crimes against humanity and against us, the villagers of #İkizköy«
– Open Letter from #Akbelen to @FCBarcelona.

Against the resistance of thousands, Turkish police force the destruction of 65,000 trees in #Akbelen forest. All for the rampant coal mine of #LIMAK Holding – the same company commissioned to renovate #FCBarcelona's @Spotify #CampNou stadium. Time to cancel a contract! ⚽️🌲

Akbelen’deki, Cudi’deki, Dikmece’deki kardeşlerine ağıtla... 🌿🖤

Bit of background v @etemelkuran :
" #Limak , a Turkish construction company is now destroying a centuries-old forest the size of 105 football stadiums in #Akbelen Turkey. Thousands of envorimentalists are resisting." - all this to make way for a new #coal mine
The pictures of elderly women literally hugging trees to protect them are heartbreaking
