>From: dhkc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: "[Ozgurluk.Org]" COMMITTEE FOR FREEDOM FOR FEHRIYE > >THE OBSTACLES PLACED ON FEHRIYE'S REQUEST > >FOR ASYLUM MUST BE LIFTED > >On July 14, 2000, Fehriye Erdal started an honourable battle against the >illegalities to which she was subjected, by using her only weapon, an action >harmful to her body and health, that is, a hunger strike. > >On August 28, after 45 days on hunger strike, she decided to interrupt her >resistance following a protocol concluded with the Ministry of the Interior. > >Since September 26, 1999, she has lived with the threat of being extradited, >whether directly or indirectly, back to Turkey where the regime of the >torturers holds sway. > >Turkey, like the Belgian state, took Fehriye as a target. But Fehriye >resisted all the plots and slander directed at her, and resisted with her >revolutionary will, her body, her thoughts and emotions. She was stronger >than entire states because she received support from individuals, >institution and organisations which support people's resistance to tyranny. >In the end, it was Fehriye and those who support her who won. > >Today, even if Fehriye has not completely won freedom, unprecedented support >from a public opinion that was sensitised have made it possible to obstruct >a probable conspiracy against her. > >Fehriye's resistance was a matter for all who oppose injustice and >illegality. > >Fehriye largely accomplished her mission with a struggle carried out in the >name of us all. We did the rest. Henceforth, we are going to disseminate >information regularly concerning the application for asylum until the threat >to Fehriye, which arises from her not having the right to asylum, is lifted. >We are going to take active measures to ensure that the asylum procedure is >started as quickly as possible. > >That is why we are appealing to all those from near or far who took part in >the action "Freedom for Fehriye" to support the campaign for granting her >the right to stay as a political refugee in Belgium. > >In other words, the "Freedom for Fehriye" campaign continues. > >FREEDOM FOR FEHRIYE > >COMMITTEE FOR FREEDOM FOR FEHRIYE > >Brussels, August 28, 2000 > > >Press Agency Ozgurluk >In Support of the Peoples Liberation Struggle in Turkey and Kurdistan >http://www.ozgurluk.org >DHKC: http://www.ozgurluk.org/dhkc > > _______________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
