On Friday, February 2, 2024, seven employees at a factory owned by Procter & Gamble in Gebze were held hostage before being freed by Turkish police. Crisis The hostage-taker was a former employee at the P&G factory, and he entered it around 3 p.m. (1200 GMT), and held his co-workers (six men and a woman) hostage. He was wearing a Palestinian scarf and what looked possibly like an explosive device, and a photo was taken of him in which he held a gun in one hand and made a 'V' sign with the other, in front of graffiti that said "Gates will open. Either coffin rest or death for Gaza." After 10 hours of negotiations failed, the police raided the factory, after the hostage-taker went to the bathroom. They freed the hostages and apprehended the gunman. See Also
