Offices of Liman-Is, the National Port and Land Stevedores Union, were raided by security forces on 25 March. Liman-Is reports in a statement that its offices have been severely damaged. The security officers entered the building under the premise of looking for a former unionist who has not worked for Liman-Is since 1999. Liman-Is also stated the real purpose was to damage the union’s reputation and perform illegal searches of the offices.
