Three unions have taken the decision to protest upon the death of TÜBİTAK awarded teacher Halil Serkan Öz who died of an heart attack.

Öz came to be known first for having been insulted by the Governor of Yalova province Selim Cebiroğlu in Turkey, because he dressed sporty at school. Cebiroğlu threw Öz out of the class in front of his students. However, Öz was merely dressed so due to a general protest of teachers. 

Öz died of an heart attack during the protest march after this incident. Governor Cebiroğlu was criticized severely for having caused him great misery. 

Three unions have announced a joint protest to commemorate Teacher Öz.
