TO THE PRESS AND PUBLIC
OPINION DHKP-C,
TKP(ML) AND TKIP PRISONERS, WHO
HAVE BEEN ON INDEFINITE HUNGER STRIKE SINCE OCTOBER 20, ARE TURNING THEIR
PROTEST INTO A DEATH FAST FROM SATURDAY
NOVEMBER 18 (THE 30TH DAY). The fascist state started attacks
aimed at putting the revolutionary prisoners in the “F” Type cell prisons, and
it is continuing the smear campaigns and demagogy it started at the beginning of
the Indefinite Hunger Strike action. What they are saying now is not very
different from what they have been saying for months past. The fascist state
openly declared that it would not abandon the isolation cells. Everybody has
spoken. Everybody has said something. Some have come out against the isolation
cells, while others have spoken in favour of them and will continue to do so.
The time has now come for the Free Prisoners to speak a word.
They are resolute, will pay whatever
price needs to be paid, but they will not go into the cells and will break them
over the heads of those who ordered their construction. Because the prisoners
are the heirs to an honourable history. Comrades like them have given martyrs
but not abandoned their beliefs. At Ulucanlar, rather than surrender they
preferred to die, and in the 1996 Death Fast, by submitting their bodies to
hunger they forced the enemy to give in while imparting confidence to their
friends with their heroism and honesty. Today nothing will occur that will alter
this picture, and once again imperialism and its collaborationist servants will
receive a response in a language they understand. Our friends who live in European
countries also have work to do. Now as before, if you want to be released from
your bitterness, if you want to demand a reckoning from the fascist state, if
you defend an honourable life and do not want our people to be oppressed,
scorned and exploited; you who had to come to these countries must also support
the resistance of the revolutionary prisoners to the Susurluk state. You can
participate in marches, protest demonstrations and hunger strikes. You can write
protest letters to the fascist state, make telephone calls and send fax and
e-mail messages… It is absolutely certain that there are things you can do.
THE REVOLUTIONARY PRISONERS ARE NOT
ALONE! We, to support the Indefinite Hunger Strike by
revolutionary prisoners which has been going on since October 20, and to be the
voice and breath of the prisoners against imperialism and fascism in Turkey,
have been conducting three-day alternating hunger strikes since November 4, and
since November 14 have turned this into an Indefinite Hunger Strike. Our
Indefinite Hunger Strike resistance will take place at the Manor House entrance
to Finsbury Park (London). THE PRISONERS’ DEMANDS ARE OUR
DEMANDS! �
The immediate
closure of the “F” Type prisons! �
The restoration
of all the rights in the prisons that have been taken
away! �
The abolition of
the Anti-Terror Law! �
The cancellation
of the Tripartite Protocol! �
The abolition of
the State Security Courts, and the cancelling of all verdicts issued by the
State Security Courts! �
Put on trial
those responsible for torture and massacres! PUT AN END TO THE ATTACKS AIMED AT IMPLEMENTING
THE ISOLATION CELLS; CLOSE THE “F” TYPE PRISONS! WE WILL WIN! DOWN WITH FASCISM, LONG LIVE OUR
STRUGGLE! WE WILL DIE BUT WE WILL NOT GO INTO THE
CELLS! LONG LIVE OUR DEATH FAST
RESISTANCE! TO THE PRESS AND PUBLIC
OPINION

Turkey’s attacks aimed at putting the
“F” Type (isolation cell) prisons into operation, the revolutionary

another demonstration in Manor House (outside the gates of Finsbury Park
at the junction between Seven Sisters Road and Green Lanes) in front of the tent
where an Indefinite Hunger Strike is taking place. Before this demonstration a
group of demonstrators will start marching from Trafalgar Square at 10.00
and by following the route Charing Cross – Holborn - Rosebery Avenue – Angel
