SOLIDARITY PROJECT WITH CONVICTED AND IMPRISONED MINING ENGINEERS
MARCH 2023
A social responsibility project was developed by the Mining Engineers Professional Development Association (MMMGD) in order to provide material and moral support to more than 50 mining engineers who were arrested and/or convicted for legal reasons while performing their duties throughout the country.
A delegation consisting of MMMGD Board Members and members of the legal association met with the General Directorate of Prisons and Detention Houses on January 18, 2023 and started the project after the official application was made, with the support of Madencilik Türkiye Magazine.
Within the scope of the project, efforts will be made to increase the morale and motivation of convicted and imprisoned mining engineers, to prevent them from leaving the profession, to attend their hearings, to visit and take care of them, to send professional and mining literature books to the libraries of the prisons where they are imprisoned, to subscribe to sectoral magazines, to find a job from the ex-convict quota when their conviction is over, and to provide support in a range of areas ranging from meeting the essential needs of themselves and their families.
While the names of convicted and imprisoned mining engineers cannot be disclosed due to KVKK, periodic announcements will be made to those interested in the project on a provincial basis and in terms of the number of people.
It is also planned to provide general support to the book campaign opened by the General Directorate of Prisons and Detention Houses for the libraries of penal institutions throughout Turkey.
In the statement made by MMMGD, it is stated that they are open to cooperation with all stakeholders of the sector.
Those who want to support the project can make a conditional donation to the MMMGD Account.
