I'll be brief and to the point: over 100 trade union leaders in Turkey have been indicted in connection with a protest demonstration held in Ankara in April.
Their trial is set to begin on 3 June.
If convicted, they face up to five years in jail.
The IUF has launched an online campaign demanding that the charges be dropped.
Please take a moment to send off your message of protest today.
If you haven't yet done so, you've got a week left to vote in this year's Labour Video of the Year competition - check out the five shortlisted videos and cast your vote here.
And finally, LabourStart needs your support and that of your union. Please give generously.
Thank you.
