Binali Yıldırım files complaint against father of deceased İliç mine worker

Former Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım has filed a legal complaint against Ali Ekber Yıldız, the father of Uğur Yıldız, who died during the İliç mine disaster in Erzincan on February 13, 2023. The complaint follows statements made by Ali Ekber Yıldız during a recent court hearing regarding the tragedy.

Duygu Yıldız, the sister of the deceased worker, criticized the legal action, claiming it is an attempt to silence the family and intimidate them from pursuing justice. She stated that the family feels targeted for expressing their grief and anger over the incident. The family has expressed a commitment to continue their search for accountability, alleging that the judicial process has not yet achieved sufficient justice for the victims.
