“Turkish authorities arrested more than a dozen people in connection with the country’s worst mining disaster. According to the Times of India, the arrests include mining company executives. The BBC reports that after the rescue operation concluded on Saturday, the death toll stood at 301. Tuesday’s disaster occurred when an explosion sent carbon monoxide gas into the mine’s tunnels while 787 miners were underground. Sky News reports that some of the miners’ family members dispute the death toll and are accusing the government of a ‘cover-up to hide the true scale of the disaster.’ 36 people were arrested because they were suspected of wanting to take part in protests.”
