During the action, campaigner Banu Dokmecibasi challenges the Turkish environmental Ministry to stop incineration of hazardous and clinical waste, by banning a permit granted to ZAYDAS - the only such waste incinerator in Turkey. The action coincides with the opening of the Stockholm Convention in Geneva which aims to eliminate the world's toxic chemicals called persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
