Green Left Party spokesperson İbrahim Akın and Member of Parliament Perihan Koca came to Akbelen to support the resistance of the people of the region against the mine that is wanted to be opened in Milas Akbelen Forest by Yeniköy-Kemerköy Energy. Akın and the citizens were subjected to the gendarmerie's water cannon and tear gas attack.
