The last of the young protesters who were arrested while demonstrating against SOCAR's continued fuel shipments to Israel have finally been released from custody by the court.

On March 31, members of the Thousand Youths for Palestine organized a protest in front of the Istanbul headquarters of the Azeri state oil giant SOCAR for its complicity in the ongoing war in Gaza. Demonstrators threw red paint on the walls and entered the building breaking down the doors.

The 1000 Youth for Palestine movement stated in their announcement that Turkey sends 44,000 barrels of oil to Israel every day, and they demanded, "SOCAR, end trade with the occupier."
