Hundreds of workers were trapped after an explosion sparked an underground fire at the Eynez coal mine in Turkey's Manisa province on Tuesday, May 13. Rescue workers raced to extract the miners as the fire consumed oxygen in the tunnels. On Wednesday morning the death toll climbed to over 200, with Energy Minister Taner Yildiz refusing to give the number of miners that remained trapped underground during a press conference.

Manisa, an Aegean city to the northeast of İzmir and Turkey's 14th most populous city with over 1.3 million people, will be a battlefield for the top three political parties in the upcoming Turkish general election, with its nine parliamentary seats up for grabs.
The general expectation is that Manisa will send three parliamentarians each for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).
Only 30 minutes away from the port city of İzmir, Manisa is an industrial city on the foothills of Mount Spil. Giving a mystical atmosphere to the city, Mount Spil also is the reason for narrow, mostly one-way roads in the city, turning traffic into a pain, especially during rush hours.
Manisa attracted international attention due to a mining disaster took place on May 13 last year in a coal mine in the province's Soma district, leaving 301 mineworkers dead. An explosion and fire in the mine depleted oxygen in the mineshaft and mineworkers trapped there died due to carbon monoxide poisoning, while a total of 162 others were injured.
The AK Party has faced heavy criticism from the public for the disaster. The ministers responsible for the mining industry and workplace safety, Energy Minister Taner Yıldız and Labor and Social Security Minister Faruk Çelik, have also been heavily criticized for failing to ensure the proper level of supervision for workplace safety at the mine. However, neither minister resigned following the disaster.
A year after the disaster, which turned out to be the result of serious neglect of safety measures on the part of the company running the mine, what people fear most in Soma is unemployment.
The Soma Coal Mining Company, which operates the Eynez mine where 301 workers were killed in May, canceled the contracts of 2,831 miners as of Nov. 30. Only around 300 out of these miners were eventually re-employed by Soma Mining Company. A significant portion of the miners that survived the disaster now work in traditional coffee houses or construction, according to one resident of the city. About 432 children have been left fatherless due to the disaster.
In the previous general election, held in 2011, the AK Party won five of the seats in Manisa, while CHP won three seats and the MHP two. In this election, political parties have only nine seats to fight for. Despite expectations that each will win three seats in 2015, the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) may spoil the predictions if the party surpasses the 10 percent nationwide threshold that is needed to enter Parliament. It is widely thought to be difficult for the HDP to win a seat in Manisa, but not impossible. If the HDP wins a seat in Manisa, many believe that its vote will come at the expense of the left-wing, secular CHP.
Speaking to the local press recently, Manisa's provincial chairman for the AK Party, Zülfikar Gürcan, claimed that the AK Party will obtain six seats in Manisa. According to locals, however, this is very unlikely.
After the Soma disaster, AK Party officials promised to provide help to the families of victims and told them not to accept any assistance or aid from others. Many believed that the government would help solve problems such as unemployment and workplace safety and refused help from others. The families of miners were also careful not to anger the government to a point that they may be excluded from receiving aid.

Several miners are reported to have been killed after an explosion and a fire at a coal mine in western Turkey.
Up to 300 other workers are believed to be trapped underground at the mine in Soma, Manisa province.
Those trapped are about 2km (1.2 miles) below the surface and 4km from the mine's exit.
The BBC's James Reynolds said that there was no clear information about the condition of the trapped miners, but that air was being pumped underground to allow them to breathe.

Manisa Province (Turkish: Manisa ili) is a province in western Turkey. Its neighboring provinces are İzmir to the west, Aydın to the south, Denizli to the south east, Uşak to the east, Kütahya to the north east, and Balıkesir to the north. The seat of the province is the city of Manisa.
Manisa province is divided into 16 districts (capital district in bold):
The Mount Sipylus national park (Spil Dağı Milli Parkı) near the city of Manisa covers a richly forested area, hot springs, and the famous "crying rock" of Niobe, and a Hittite carving of the Goddess Cybele (Mother Goddess). The park boasts of having within its boundaries about 120 varieties of native plants, especially wild tulips. The park provides opportunities for mountaineering and camping.
Sardis, in Salihli, was the ancient capital of Lydia, once ruled by King Croesus, who was renowned for his wealth. Due to numerous earthquakes, most of the visible remains date back only to Roman times. There are the remains of the temple of Artemis and a restored gymnasium, exhibiting of the past splendor of this ancient city. The splendid synagogue from the 3rd century is worth visiting, with its elaborate mosaics and artfully carved colored-stone panels.

A police officer (also known as a policeman or policewoman, and constable in some forces, particularly in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations) is a warranted employee of a police force. In the United States, "officer" is the formal name of the lowest police rank; in many other countries "officer" is a generic term not specifying a particular rank, and the lowest rank is often "constable". Police officers are generally charged with the apprehension of criminals and the prevention and detection of crime, and the maintenance of public order. Police officers may be sworn to an oath, and have the power to arrest people and detain them for a limited time, along with other duties and powers.
Some police officers may also be trained in special duties, such as counter-terrorism, surveillance, child protection, VIP protection, and investigation techniques into major crime, including fraud, rape, murder and drug trafficking.
Responsibilities of a police officer are varied, and may differ greatly from within one political context to another. Typical duties relate to keeping the peace, law enforcement, protection of people and property, and the investigation of crimes. Officers are expected to respond to a variety of situations that may arise while they are on duty. Rules and guidelines dictate how an officer should behave within the community, and in many contexts restrictions are placed on what the uniformed officer wears. In some countries, rules and procedures dictate that a police officer is obliged to intervene in a criminal incident, even if they are off-duty. Police officers in nearly all countries retain their lawful powers, while off duty.

Quran teacher who informed top religious body of graft reassignedQuran teacher who informed top religious body of graft reassigned
Mehmet Çiftçi, who had been teaching a state-sponsored course on the Quran in İzmir province, was recently reassigned to another province, Manisa, after he informed the Directorate of Religious Affairs of alleged corruption in the management of the İzmir course. Çiftçi recently sent a written complaint to the Religious Affairs Directorate about the apparent misuse of donations to the course and assignments that were not in compliance with regulations while he was serving as a teacher for İzmir's Evliyazede Akkuş Quran course. An investigation was then launched against him following an anonymous tip, and he was then reassigned to Yenice village in Manisa province. Just days after Çiftçi filed the complaint, a tip was sent to the directorate claiming that the children in the course had been exposed to ill-treatment by Çiftçi. He was first warned about the allegations in a written document from the Religious Affairs Directorate and then reassigned to Yenice, despite the fact that his wife also works in İzmir. In response to the reassignment, Çiftçi, through his legal counsel, İsmail Hakkı Küçük, appealed to the court for a reversal of the decision and many of his students provided written statements saying that they had not been subjected any mistreatment from Çiftçi. The students' statements were added to the petition submitted by Küçük to the court. Küçük claims that the tip was forged and that several directorate personnel of the İzmir course were involved in the misuse of donations as well as funds provided by the directorate, and that his client was reassigned after he complained about these circumstances. -

Turkish coal mine explosion kills more than 200Turkish coal mine explosion kills more than 200
An explosion at a coal mine in western Turkey has killed more than 200 miners. Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz visited the scene in Manisa Province on Wednesday. He said at least 151 miners have been confirmed dead and 77 injured in the blast the day before. Several hundred miners were reportedly working in an area 2 kilometers below ground. Rescuers are struggling to bring those trapped there to the surface. The cause is unknown. But authorities say a flaw in the mine's electrical system could have been to blame. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and canceled a diplomatic trip to visit the site. Turkey has been developing mineral mines to meet energy demand from the country's economic growth. But experts point to inadequate facilities and poor working conditions as factors in mine accidents.

Manisa’s 9 parliamentary seats up for grabs in tough battle
Manisa, an Aegean city to the northeast of İzmir and Turkey's 14th most populous city with over 1.3 million people, will be a battlefield for the top three political parties in the upcoming Turkish general election, with its nine parliamentary seats up for grabs.

Giving a mystical atmosphere to the city, Mount Spil also is the reason for narrow, mostly one-way roads in the city, turning traffic into a pain, especially during rush hours. Manisa attracted ... -

Manisa, an Aegean city to the northeast of İzmir and Turkey's 14th most populous city with over 1.3 million people, will be a battlefield for the top three political parties in the upcoming Turkish general election, with its nine parliamentary seats up for grabs.
The general expectation is that Manisa will send three parliamentarians each for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).
Only 30 minutes away from the port city of İzmir, Manisa is an industrial city on the foothills of Mount Spil. Giving a mystical atmosphere to the city, Mount Spil also is the reason for narrow, mostly one-way roads in the city, turning traffic into a pain, especially during rush hours.
Manisa attracted international attention due to a mining disaster took place on May 13 last year in a coal mine in the province's Soma district, leaving 301 mineworkers dead. An explosion and fire in the mine depleted oxygen in the mineshaft and mineworkers trapped there died due to carbon monoxide poisoning, while a total of 162 others were injured.
The AK Party has faced heavy criticism from the public for the disaster. The ministers responsible for the mining industry and workplace safety, Energy Minister Taner Yıldız and Labor and Social Security Minister Faruk Çelik, have also been heavily criticized for failing to ensure the proper level of supervision for workplace safety at the mine. However, neither minister resigned following the disaster.
A year after the disaster, which turned out to be the result of serious neglect of safety measures on the part of the company running the mine, what people fear most in Soma is unemployment.
The Soma Coal Mining Company, which operates the Eynez mine where 301 workers were killed in May, canceled the contracts of 2,831 miners as of Nov. 30. Only around 300 out of these miners were eventually re-employed by Soma Mining Company. A significant portion of the miners that survived the disaster now work in traditional coffee houses or construction, according to one resident of the city. About 432 children have been left fatherless due to the disaster.
In the previous general election, held in 2011, the AK Party won five of the seats in Manisa, while CHP won three seats and the MHP two. In this election, political parties have only nine seats to fight for. Despite expectations that each will win three seats in 2015, the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) may spoil the predictions if the party surpasses the 10 percent nationwide threshold that is needed to enter Parliament. It is widely thought to be difficult for the HDP to win a seat in Manisa, but not impossible. If the HDP wins a seat in Manisa, many believe that its vote will come at the expense of the left-wing, secular CHP.
Speaking to the local press recently, Manisa's provincial chairman for the AK Party, Zülfikar Gürcan, claimed that the AK Party will obtain six seats in Manisa. According to locals, however, this is very unlikely.
After the Soma disaster, AK Party officials promised to provide help to the families of victims and told them not to accept any assistance or aid from others. Many believed that the government would help solve problems such as unemployment and workplace safety and refused help from others. The families of miners were also careful not to anger the government to a point that they may be excluded from receiving aid.

Up to 300 other workers are believed to be trapped underground at the mine in Soma, Manisa province.
Those trapped are about 2km (1.2 miles) below the surface and 4km from the mine's exit.
The BBC's James Reynolds said that there was no clear information about the condition of the trapped miners, but that air was being pumped underground to allow them to breathe.

Mehmet Çiftçi, who had been teaching a state-sponsored course on the Quran in İzmir province, was recently reassigned to another province, Manisa, after he informed the Directorate of Religious Affairs of alleged corruption in the management of the İzmir course.
Çiftçi recently sent a written complaint to the Religious Affairs Directorate about the apparent misuse of donations to the course and assignments that were not in compliance with regulations while he was serving as a teacher for İzmir's Evliyazede Akkuş Quran course. An investigation was then launched against him following an anonymous tip, and he was then reassigned to Yenice village in Manisa province.
Just days after Çiftçi filed the complaint, a tip was sent to the directorate claiming that the children in the course had been exposed to ill-treatment by Çiftçi. He was first warned about the allegations in a written document from the Religious Affairs Directorate and then reassigned to Yenice, despite the fact that his wife also works in İzmir.
In response to the reassignment, Çiftçi, through his legal counsel, İsmail Hakkı Küçük, appealed to the court for a reversal of the decision and many of his students provided written statements saying that they had not been subjected any mistreatment from Çiftçi. The students' statements were added to the petition submitted by Küçük to the court.
Küçük claims that the tip was forged and that several directorate personnel of the İzmir course were involved in the misuse of donations as well as funds provided by the directorate, and that his client was reassigned after he complained about these circumstances.

An explosion at a coal mine in western Turkey has killed more than 200 miners.
Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz visited the scene in Manisa Province on Wednesday. He said at least 151 miners have been confirmed dead and 77 injured in the blast the day before.
Several hundred miners were reportedly working in an area 2 kilometers below ground. Rescuers are struggling to bring those trapped there to the surface.
The cause is unknown. But authorities say a flaw in the mine's electrical system could have been to blame.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and canceled a diplomatic trip to visit the site.
Turkey has been developing mineral mines to meet energy demand from the country's economic growth. But experts point to inadequate facilities and poor working conditions as factors in mine accidents.

Death toll at Turkey mine blast passes 200
At least 205 miners killed, dozens still trapped, after coal mine explodes in western Manisa province, official says.
An explosion and fire in a Turkish coal mine has killed 205 people and the death toll could rise with hundreds more still trapped, the country's energy minister has said.
Speaking to reporters at the scene of the disaster on Tuesday, Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 workers were inside the mine when the blast hit a power unit. Another 76 people were injured and hospitalised, he said.
Yildiz said most of the deaths were the result of carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Time is working against us," Yildiz said, adding that some of the workers were 420 metres deep inside the mine, located in the town of Soma, about 250km south of Istanbul.
He said some 400 rescuers were involved in the operation.
Television footage showed people cheering and applauding as some trapped workers emerged out of the mine, helped by rescuers, their faces and hard-hats covered in soot.

An 'electrical fault' has been identified as the cause for an explosion in a mine in Turkey. Rescue operations are underway although the death toll has risen to over 200.
Death toll in Turkish mine explosion rises to 157 according to local mayor
An explosion followed by a fire in a coal mine in the western Turkish province of Manisa today, killed 157 miners and trapped hundreds more today, a local mayor said.
Rescue workers pumped oxygen into the mine to try to keep those still trapped by the blaze alive.
Thousands of family members and fellow workers who gathered outside the town's hospital looking for information were held back behind police lines.
The blast in the power unit of the mine in Soma, triggered an electricity outage, making the elevators unusable and leaving hundreds of miners stranded underground.
It was not immediately clear if the fire had been isolated.
Cengiz Ergun, mayor of Manisa province where Soma is located, said nearly 600 workers were underground at the time of the explosion.
Citing health officials at the entrance to the mine, he told broadcaster CNN Turk that 157 miners had died.
Government officials told Reuters 104 people had been confirmed dead and 54 injured, but said the toll was likely to rise.
Turkey's disaster response agency, AFAD, had earlier said 17 miners were killed.
Turkish Prime Minister to visit mine site
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan cancelled a day trip to Albania, scheduled for tomorrow, and would instead go to the site of the disaster, sources in his office said.
"Rescue efforts for our brothers in the mine are ongoing ...God willing, in the coming hours, I hope to receive uplifting news," Mr Erdogan said during a speech at a ceremony in the capital Ankara, before the extent of the disaster became clear.
Because the explosion took place during a change in shifts, there was uncertainty over the exact number of miners still inside, but AFAD put the figure at more than 200.
"Fresh air, oxygen is being pumped into the mine. This is the most important thing for our workers down there," Energy Minister Taner Yildiz told reporters, on his way to Manisa.
"We are facing carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide poisoning... We have to get our friends out of there swiftly."
At least eight people were brought out alive. Television footage showed rescued miners reunited with tearful relatives.
But government officials feared the death toll might be on the rise.
"Unfortunately, we could see a grimmer picture. Looks like it will be a very tough night. The death toll may rise but the rescue teams are working hard," one official said.
Turkey's worst mining accident was in 1992, when a gas explosion killed 263 workers in the Black Sea province of Zonguldak.
The country has a poor health and safety record in mining, particularly coal.
In May 2010, another gas explosion killed 30 miners, again in Zonguldak province.

Today’s ruling from the court in Akhisar, Manisa province, western Turkey, comes after plaintiffs’ lawyers claimed one attorney could not represent the defendants responsible for workplace safety because of an apparent conflict of interest.
The trial has been postponed until Tuesday to allow defendants to have separate lawyers.
Turkey was rocked by the mining tragedy which happened in Soma, western Turkey on May 13, 2014. Three-hundred-and-one miners lost their lives after a fire broke out while they were working underground.

Fifteen people have lost their lives in a horrific traffic collision in western Turkey, early Monday morning.
Police confirmed that there was a crash between an articulated lorry and a smaller vehicle carrying 16 people, all employed in seasonal work picking vine leaves.
The collision happened in Golmarmara town, Manisa province between 5.30-6.00 a.m. local time [0230-0300GMT].
Governor of Manisa province, Erdogan Bektas, said that among the 15 fatalities were 13 women from the same village, adding that the driver of the lorry – a large, milk-delivery vehicle – may have fallen asleep.
"It seems that the road where the crash happened was wide, straight and clear," Bektas said.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Golmarmara town, Kamil Oz, said that the lorry driver and a wounded person were hospitalized but that they were not suffering from life-threatening injuries.

Deputy Prime Minister and Justice and Development Party (AK Party) spokesperson Bülent Arınç has criticized the police raids on three “reading rooms” that provide a beneficial environment for children coming from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, as well as the 11 civil society organizations (CSO) that were raided as part of the same operation over the past week.
During a news program on Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Arınç acknowledged that the raids were government-led and criticized them, saying that something suspicious has been going on in the western province of Manisa over the last few days and that these operations would lead to a loss of votes for the AK Party, adding: “I'm going to ask Manisa to vote [for us], as I already have. Won't they say to me: ‘We know you and we like you but [police under pressure from the AK Party] are raiding other people we like… The police chief is doing this and that like the head of a gang!' How can I reply when they say this to me?”
Arınç continued to criticize the raids against the CSO, saying: “[Police] are conducting raids in the middle of the day. What are they looking for? The CSO are innocent. It is a very grave matter to these people that their associations are being raided like terrorist organizations.”
Raids were conducted on the Gazi Hacı Nusrettin Kara Reading Room and Education Center, the Horozköy Reading and Education Association and the Altıntaş Reading and Education Association. All are affiliates of the Ufuk Reading Education Culture and Cooperation Association, and all have been targeted because of their alleged links to the Hizmet movement, a faith-based grassroots initiative inspired by Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen. The raids are believed to be the resumption of a government-led retribution campaign against dissenting sections of society, including the Hizmet movement.
The Manisa branch of the aid organization Kimse Yok Mu (Is Anyone There?) was also targeted in the operation on Tuesday, as were other CSO's such as the Feza Educational and Cultural Foundation, the Health and Education Association, the Social Aid Association, the Moris Şinasi International Children's Health Association, the Manisa Public Education And Teaching Association, the Health and Social Assistance Association and the Aviation Community Sports Association.
Mehmet Davşan, the head of the Manisa Public Education Teaching Health Association, formerly an İmam Hatip Association and one of those associations targeted in the police operation on Tuesday, criticized the government, saying, “Those who said they would harm the İmam Hatip Associations have done the biggest harm to those in Manisa.”
“The name of our association is Public Education Teaching Health Association but the real mission of the association is to build and sustain İmam Hatip Associations in Manisa. Our only wish is to keep our associations afloat, and raise new generations for Manisa and for our country,” Davşan stated.
Manisa Police Chief Tayfur Erdal Ceren justified the initial raid last week, announcing to the press, “Those who provide financial assistance to these CSOs must understand that they are assisting terrorist groups.” However, Ceren's remarks have sparked criticism due to a complete absence of evidence that the groups have any links to terrorism.
Police operations founded on suspicion and opinion are now the norm in Turkey, after a judicial package introducing the much criticized “reasonable suspicion” clause was signed into effect by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Dec. 12. This law lowers the threshold for searches and reverses a reform from February 2014 that had only allowed courts to grant police the power to search people and property if there was "strong suspicion based on concrete evidence.”
The operations are widely believed to be an act of retribution by Erdoğan's administration for a corruption investigation that went public in December 2013. Erdoğan claims the Hizmet movement initiated but failed to conduct a coup against the government. The graft probe incriminated four former cabinet ministers, businessmen with close ties to the government, senior bureaucrats and family members of then-Prime Minister Erdoğan.

Manisa Police Chief Tayfur Erdal Ceren justified the initial raid last week, announcing to the press, “Those who provide financial assistance to these CSOs must understand that they are assisting terrorist groups.” However, Ceren's remarks have sparked criticism due to a complete absence of evidence that the groups have any links to terrorism.
Police operations founded on suspicion and opinion are now the norm in Turkey, after a judicial package introducing the much criticized “reasonable suspicion” clause was signed into effect by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Dec. 12. This law lowers the threshold for searches and reverses a reform from February 2014 that had only allowed courts to grant police the power to search people and property if there was "strong suspicion based on concrete evidence.”
The operations are widely believed to be an act of retribution by Erdoğan's administration for a corruption investigation that went public in December 2013. Erdoğan claims the Hizmet movement initiated but failed to conduct a coup against the government. The graft probe incriminated four former cabinet ministers, businessmen with close ties to the government, senior bureaucrats and family members of then-Prime Minister Erdoğan.

None of the proposals suggested in the report on the Soma mining disaster of May 2014 have been taken into consideration in any laws passed since the tragedy, main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) Manisa deputy Özgür Özel has said.
“What will those who ignored the reports say to the people when the next disaster happens? If the suggestions of the parliamentary investigation committee’s reports been taken into consideration in 2010, the Soma disaster would never have happened. If lessons had been taken from Soma, Ermenek would never have happened either. We are still not taking lessons,” said Özel, who was among the 17 deputies to prepare a detailed report on the mining accident in the western Turkish district of Soma in May 2014.
“Another disaster will happen and we will again shed crocodile tears,” he added, stressing that 17 deputies from four parties prepared the report by working day and night after inspecting mines across the country.
Turkey was hit by its biggest ever mining accident on May 13, 2014 when a fire broke out inside a mine in the Manisa province’s Soma district, resulting in the death of 301 miners. Only six months after the accident in Soma, a mine in the Central Anatolian province of Konya’s Ermenek district was flooded by water that had built up in an unused old mining gallery. The bodies of the 18 miners killed in the accident were still being found two months after the accident.
CHP deputy Özel, who had warned of safety conditions in Soma before the disaster there last year, said no steps had been taken since the tragedy to prevent worker deaths.
“Some 50,000 workers are currently working in mines across the country. What happened to our vows after Soma? Since then nothing has been done to prevent miner deaths. Now, all we can do is pray for them before we go to bed. Were you making fun of us by not taking this report into consideration? We can see that we have been fooled by the [ruling Justice and Development Party] AKP,” he said.
However, Ali Rıza Alaboyun, the president of the Soma Disaster Investigation Commission in parliament, said the report had “no applicable effect” in terms of its occupational safety advantages.
“Certainly there are other things to be done. A coal law should be enacted and coal gas permeability should be monitored. I have spoken with the prime minister and he said a ministry and a private undersecretariat would be founded on the subject,” said Alaboyun, adding that the reason for the delay was due to the electoral period.
The suggestions mentioned in Soma report include the formation of a mining ministry, a revision of the mine law and authorization conditions, the importance of determining the existence of methane and draining all methane from mines, the passing of a coal production occupational health and safety law, and imprisonment for employers who violate shutdown decisions.
Meanwhile, Özel also said he has heard rumors about the transfer of the hearing into the Soma mine disaster away from Manisa to Ankara.
“Recently, we learned that the hearing is planned to be moved to Ankara, due to emotional reactions from the families and potential demonstrations. I am extremely concerned about this. Any transfer of the hearing would mean the transfer of justice. I will submit a parliamentary question about this issue,” he said.
The first hearing into the disaster is set to be held on April 13, after a Manisa court accepted an indictment of charges against 45 people suspected of responsibility for the accident. The case will include 436 people as witnesses, 162 miners affected by smoke as victims and 437 relatives of killed miners as complainants.

The death toll from the explosion and fire in a coal mine in Turkey has climbed to 282. As many as 100 miners may still be trapped deep under the ground. The country has declared three days of mourning.
The disaster occurred in the coal mine near the town of Soma in Manisa province, some 250 km south of Istanbul. According to preliminary data, the accident occurred as a result of short circuit in a switchboard, which triggered an explosion of methane. A fire then broke out in the mine at the depth of two kilometers. The supply of electricity was discontinued, elevators were stopped, and people found themselves trapped. At the time of the explosion, there were 787 miners underground; as many as 300 of them managed to escape to safety on the surface.
Numerous actions of protest have gripped Turkey after the tragedy in Soma. Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Ankara and Istanbul, accusing the authorities and representatives of the mining industry of criminal negligence and demanding the resignation of the government.
