During the >last decade any oppressive move of the state against the prisoners was >answered by revolts inside the prisons culminating in the �death fast� in >1996 causing the death of twelve revolutionaries. The state and its prison >authorities had to retreat their coercive plans. > >Therefore in the last years the state has built thousands of so-called F >type cells for solitary confinement in order to break their resistance by >isolation torture. So far the �free prisoners� have refused to enter the >cells. But again it has been announced that prisoners will be transferred >soon. To counter this new attack the political prisoners of DHKP-C, TKL(ML) >and TIKB have announced a new hunger strike starting as of October 20 >calling upon all the other organisations to join them. They demand: > >No to isolation cells, close the F type prisons! >Abolish special courts and so-called security laws against the political >fighters of the people! > >The political inmates of the German prison of L�beck, both of Turkish and >German origins, have declared to join the hunger strike.
