Şakir Bilgin, who has been active in the political and trade union field for many years, was arrested in Istanbul at the beginning of 1983, trialed by military courts and held as a political prisoner in Istanbul Military Prisons for more than three years. His arrest aroused great repercussions in Germany and a strong solidarity campaign was carried out by trade unionists, politicians and artists. He gained his freedom after this campaign, which was also supported by the German government.

After life in prison, Bilgin returned to Germany, where he has conducted activities in the field of human rights for many years. He is the founding chair of Tüday (Turkey-Germany Human Rights Association) and, in addition, led the founding of various peace initiatives and was their spokesperson.
