Cihan Erdal.Cihan Erdal, a member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), has been unjustly jailed in Turkey since September 2020.

CUPE is pressing the Canadian government to support Cihan as he prepares for trial, and to work to get him released from jail and safely home to Canada.  The next few weeks are critical. 

CUPE National President Mark Hancock and National Secretary-Treasurer Charles Fleury have sent a letter to Canadian foreign affairs minister Marc Garneau with three specific demands for action and reiterating CUPE’s call last fall for Canada to work on Cihan’s behalf. You can help by reminding the Ankara Prosecutor, Turkish Minister of Justice and the President of Turkey of their country's human rights obligations and encourage them to release Cihan and to allow him to return home.
