THE MASSACRE AND RESISTANCE CONTINUES IN THE PRISONS OF TURKEY. WE URGE YOU TO PUT THE RESISTANCE ON YOUR AGENDA AND TO SUPPORT IT! Between 1999-2000 the f type prisons were constructed in our country with the approval of America and Europe. The revolutionary prisoners and the forces outside started the death fast after having tried all possible democratic ways to close down the F type prisons. The hunger strike started by the prisoners of the trials of DHKP-C, TKP(ML) and TKIP on 20th October 2000 was turned into a death fast on the 19th of November 2000. 204 death fast resisters were participating in the first two death fast teams, of which 131 belong to the DHKP-C and about 1000 prisoners went on a support hunger strike. On the 60th day of the death fast, December 19th, the state launched a simultaneous operation in 22 prisons. It massacred 28 prisoners by burning and shooting them. It has injured hundreds of them. It opened the F types. In the middle of the massacre and the torture the prisoners who were transferred to the F types were thrown into the cells. But they couldn't break the resistance. The resistance continued by drawing in a wider section of society. Several political groups who had not participated in the death fast earlier now also joined the death fast. The murderous government, who wasn't able to break the resistance with massacres, torture and isolation cells, tried to break the resistance with forced medical intervention. More than 60 prisoners were left handicapped as a result of this torture. Finally the government released the resisters whom they had left handicapped and who were on the brink of death, in order to break the resistance. The released DHKP-C prisoners have continued their resistance on the outside. Two of them, Gokhan Ococak and Sevgi Erdogan fell martyred. Tens of released death fast resisters are continuing their resistance in the poor Gecekondu shantytowns in our country. THIS IS THE RESULT, To date we have given 60 martyrs, both inside and outside of the prisons and more than 60 of our people remain handicapped, mainly suffering from memory loss, the so-called Wernicke Korsakoff disease. The resistance continues both inside and outside of the prisons. We continue to give martyrs. The numbers and data relating to the balance of our resistance, and the stages through which our resistance has gone through, has now entered into the fourth season. This in itself is enough to show the dimension of the oppression and the size of the resistance. To all those who are against imperialism, fascism, isolation and torture. The F-type prisons are part of the plan, which is being used by America and Europe to destroy the resistance and the revolutionaries against imperialism in all countries, and to make reality their plan of globalization and the New World Order. Our resistance is against this plan, the IMF, the World Bank and the colonialisation that is presented under the name of globalisation. For this reason this resistance belongs to all of us. For this reason isolation is a matter of concern for the whole world. Therefore we are calling upon you not only to give your support but also to take this resistance as your own. We are calling the prisoners of different countries in the world, all anti-imperialists and progressive forces, for action. We appeal to you to put on the agenda at Genoa the massacre in the prisons of Turkey and the resistance, which has entered the fourth season. Day by day people are dying inside and outside of the prisons. Capitalism, the IMF and isolation are killing. There's not even a second to loose. Imperialism wants to split, divide and weaken us. We call all people of the world, all progressives, anti-fascists and anti-imperialists to unite and to destroy this game, and to support and enlarge together all kinds of resistance against tyranny.
