The Turkish government has jailed a young woman, Meryem Özsögüt, trade union leader and management board member of PSI's affiliate SES in Turkey (the trade union of public employees in health and social services) was arrested on the morning of January 8 following her participation in a press conference on 14 December 2007 to denounce the killing by the police of activist Kevser Mizrak, , and has kept her in detention for nearly six months.

Meryem is a leader of the public employees union SES, and we've been asked by Public Services International (PSI) to launch a big online campaign demanding her release.
This campaign will not take off, and we will not secure Meryem's release, unless we can mobilize thousands of our members around the world.
Please do what you can to help this campaign go viral -- forward it to your email lists, post information on your union websites, pass out flyers at events, use new tools like Twitter, Facebook and blogs to spread the word.
Meryem needs our help. I know that I can count on all of you.
