We warned the government on June 25, 2022, about the disaster that would occur in İliç, Erzincan. The mine was closed for a short time. Then it was reopened. And today, a massive environmental genocide is taking place.
The disaster in İliç happened in plain sight. At the beginning of the morning shift, 6 workers saw the cracks in the soil and said they would not work there. And they left the area. These 6 people were saved in this way.
It is confirmed that 9 people are under the rubble. The incident occurred during the shift change.
It happened in the field where crushers and trucks were located. It is a field where 150-200 people could be present, and they have not yet been able to determine the number of people there.
