She had been living in the house with a number of other hunger strikers who are protesting against the Turkish authorities oppression of political prisoners. So far, 25 prisoners and seven of their relatives have died in the strike, which began 11 months ago when the Government forced prisoners out of dormitories and into small cells. The prisoners have claimed that the small cells make it easier for prison officials to torture them on a daily basis. Nearly 200 prisoners, all members of outlawed left-wing militant groups, are participating in the hunger strike. -- Press Agency Ozgurluk In Support of the Revolutionary Peoples Liberation Struggle in Turkey http://www.ozgurluk.org ------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Peoples_War ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A revolution is not a bed of roses.
