>From: STEVE KACZYNSKI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: "[Ozgurluk.Org]" Revolutionary prisoners from Turkey on trial in >Germany > >(Forwarded) > >FREEDOM FOR NURI ERYUKSEL! > >Nuri Eryuksel is a revolutionary from Turkey� After he was arrested a year >ago in Switzerland, he was extradited to Germany. Nuri Eryuksel, whose trial >is starting in Hamburg, is accused under Paragraph 129a of membership of a >terrorist group and its official in charge of Germany and Europe. >Nuri Eryuksel, who is aged over 40, has throughout his life never spent a >day far away from the revolutionary struggle. He was arrested at the time of >the September 12 military junta and spent 12 years in prison. He lost most >of his eyesight during this struggle and currently he has only 6% vision. >This means he cannot look after himself without help. In daily life he >depends on help from other people. The State Prosecutor�s Office and the >Prison Administration, who know about his condition, have kept Nuri Eryuksel >in isolation for a year. Since he is almost blind, this means he is doubly >isolated. Since he has not mastered the German language and has no contact >with other prisoners, this aggravates his situation. >The presiding judge in this case is Judge Mentz� He is known for basing his >judgements in DHKP-C trials on conspiracy theories and fairy tales. So he >has sentenced revolutionaries to life imprisonment or sentences in excess of >10 years� imprisonment. Mentz, who derives great satisfaction from this kind >of thing, now has another chance to condemn a revolutionary. The only proof >he has is a statement by a pathetic and shamefully fallen witness for the >authorities who hopes, by making lying statements, to secure permission to >stay in Germany. >We have not forgotten the words uttered by Mentz at the trial of Mesut >Demirel: �Whosoever has not freed him or herself from Marxist-Leninist >doctrine� deserves a severe penalty.� There is no doubt that he will have >the same attitude at the trial of Nuri Eryuksel. But he errs if he thinks >this will stop revolutionary thoughts and beliefs from being expressed in >society. With these convictions in mind, he has put Nuri Eryuksel in >solitary confinement, only allowed him to go to the prison exercise area >when other prisoners are not there and has even prevented him from receiving >newspapers which are legally permitted. >Germany is continuing to provide Turkey with a model to follow. The order of >the day is, introduce isolation cells, that is, the �F� Type prisons, break >the bonds prisoners have with one another and with the people, isolate and >cause them to be left on their own. They are saying, it was successful for >me, do what I did and you will also have success. >Turkey could not make the revolutionary prisoners in the prisons submit, >they use all means at their disposal, nonetheless they have had no success. >Germany too will not succeed with this method of operating and really ought >to have learnt a lesson from experience. Germany should have learnt from the >case of Ilhan Yelkuvan that it cannot bring about the surrender of Free >Prisoners. >Nuri Eryuksel is being condemned for his political beliefs� Because in >Germany it is seen as a crime to stand for the principles of >Marxism-Leninism� Nobody can be condemned for his or her political beliefs. >Let us come out against the torture through isolation to which Nuri Eryuksel >is being subjected. Let us take part in the trials and show through >solidarity letters that he is not alone. Let us send protest faxes to the >Oberlandesgericht (OLG, High Court of the German �Land� where the trial is >being held), and to the Interior and Justice Ministry. >Put an end to the solitary confinement in which Nuri Eryuksel is being held! >Let us show solidarity with Nuri Eryuksel! > >NO TO TREATING THOUGHTS AS CRIMES! >LIFT THE ISOLATION IMMEDIATELY! > >Protest faxes to: >3.
