Turkey Coal Mine Disaster Trial to Commence in April

The Daily Star reported that the trial over Turkey’s worst-ever mine disaster, which claimed 301 lives last year, will be held next month.

As quoted in the market news:

Among the defendants due to appear when the trial opens on April 13 are eight executive managers of the Soma mine who are in custody on charges of causing multiple deaths.

To help accommodate the victims’ families, the case will be heard at a special tribunal set up in a cultural centre in Akhisar in western Turkey, the private Dogan news agency reported.
