>From: "dhkcbureau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >THERE IS NO FORCE THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE RESOLVE OF OUR DEATH FAST RESISTERS > >The Ecevit government, whose servile behaviour towards the IMF knows no >bounds, is continuing to take every available measure to break our Death >Fast resistance and obstruct the growing resistance by the people's >opposition which is forming around us. >On the one hand, the Ecevit government has used the demagogy towards our >resisters of "Do not feel sorry for yourselves"; on the other, it continues >to show no sensitivity at all towards the demands of our resistance, which >is in its FIFTY-FIFTH DAY. This is the true face of Ecevit and his >government. Those who cannot stand up to the demands of the IMF are >continuing to oppose the demands of the people with a wall of silence. But >we will pierce the minds of those who have erected this wall of silence. >The government has shown insensitivity towards our demands, its only >response being to unleash the MHP (Nationalist Movement Party) dogs in wild >attacks against the people; until the demands are granted, our Death Fast >Resistance will continue >THE GOVERNMENT MUST ABANDON ITS ATTACKS AGAINST THE PEOPLE! We warn the >authorities who have organised the attacks against the people by the >Janissary gangs of Rapid Reaction police together with the MHP dogs. >(Translator's note: the right-wing press in Turkey has approvingly compared >these police-fascist attacks to those of the Janissaries, the elite troops >of the Ottoman Empire. The "democratic" mask of the system in Turkey is >slipping, as it always does when the system is challenged.) These attacks >must immediately stop, the dogs must be withdrawn from their attacks on >democratic actions. Otherwise, we will cease to meet any more delegations >coming to the prisons. (Translator's note: there has been some attempt to >mediate an end to the Death Fast through such delegations, which have >included prominent intellectuals.) >NO KIND OF CENSORSHIP WILL SILENCE OUR RESISTANCE! The Ecevit government has >lost strength in the face of our resistance and has now started threatening >to impose censorship on the press. (Translator's note: again an example of >"democracy" going out the window when the system is scared.) The Istanbul >State Security Court adopted a ruling that henceforth news on our Death Fast >actions is to be censored. In this way, the Ecevit government is also >attacking the people's right to information. But do not forget that no >censorship is able to limit the effects of our resistance and silence our >voices. This is the voice of those who have unhesitatingly marched towards >death for 55 days. This is the voice of the people's resistance. No force is >sufficient to silence this voice. >THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE PKK PRISONERS, WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY THE GOVERNMENT, >HAS NO CONNECTION WITH OUR DEATH FAST RESISTANCE. Justice Minister Hikmet >Sami Turk announced that "because of the government's good intentions, up to >40 prisoners have given up their resistance". However, when journalists >enquired further it turned out it was PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) >prisoners who had cooperated in this way, and they have no close or even >distant connection with our resistance. As is known, the PKK prisoners have >never engaged in serious opposition to the 'F' Type prisons and have given >their approval to the implementation of the cells. >As a result, there is no connection between any hunger strike actions the >PKK prisoners may take and our Death Fast Resistance. Those who do such >things have issued no statement and their behaviour has no connection with >our Death Fast Resistance. Nowhere have the PKK prisoners been part of the >Death Fast Resistance, rather, once again they have quite consciously >preferred to be made use of by the authorities. As is known, our Death Fast >Resistance calls on everyone to support our democratic demands. That >includes the PKK prisoners and their periphery, but nowhere have they joined >the resistance front of the people. >WE WILL RESIST THE ATTACKS BY THE FASCIST AUTHORITIES BOTH INSIDE AND >OUTSIDE THE PRISONS, AND TOGETHER WITH OUR PEOPLE WE WILL WIN! >With this aim, from DECEMBER 14, 2000 we are starting the action by our >Third Death Fast Team. As is known, our Death Fast Resistance will grow and >continue until such a moment as our Death Fast demands, which are people's >democratic demands, are met. We are waiting for our demands to be met. The >authorities must abandon their games of lying, repression, threats and >demagogy and meet the democratic demands of the people at least as rapidly >as they have met the demands made by the IMF. >UMRANIYE - DENIZ YILDIZ, ISA CADIRCI, ULAS BUTUN, SERKAN AYDOGAN, VOLKAN >AGIRMAN, UFUK YENIOCAK, IBRAHIM ARAS, CELAL GEZER, CENGIZ KARAKAS, YAVUZ >NAZLIGAN, MIZRAP ATES, SINAN DUMAN, TAYLAN PEKTAS, YUKSEL DOGAN, UGUR >KARADEMIR >BARTIN - UTKU EDER, EROL EVCIL >CANKIRI - ALI CEVAT UGRAS, ERDAL DOGAN, YASAR DEMIRCAN, SULEYMAN ALTINOGLU >CEYHAN - ALI PEKINOGLU, GOKAY DALGIC, ONUR ERDEM YILDIZ >BURSA - ENIS ARAS, MUSTAFA TOKUR, MEHMET SEVIS >MALATYA - BASET TEMIZ, SINAN GUL, BAKI BUDAK, ZARIFE ASMA, HATUN AN >BUCA - ULAS GOKTAS, GOKHAN OZOCAK, TURAN TASCI, YALCIN HAFCI, GURSEL AKMAZ, >TANER CADIRCI >USAK - YELIZ KILIC, HULYA GURLEK >CANAKKALE - TUNA DOGAN, GULSEVEN OZTURK, NURAY GEZICI, LEYLA ALP, ILKER >BABACAN, FETI ATES, CANER KILINC >BAYRAMPASA - MURAT ACAR, VELI KORKULU, CETIN DONMEZ, BULENT YIGIT, URAL >EROGLU, HAYDAR BOZKURT, YILMAZ YIGIT, EBRU DINCER, OZLEM ERCAN, KEMAL AYHAN, >ISMET SINAG >WE WILL RESIST THE FASCIST ATTACKS SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH OUR PEOPLE >EVERYWHERE, AND WE WILL WIN!. >WE WILL WIN VICTORY WITH OUR MARTYRS!. >HEROES DO NOT DIE, THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED! > >December 14, 2000 > >DEVRIMCI HALK KURTULUS PARTISI-CEPHESI >(REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE'S LIBERATION PARTY-FRONT) >Prisoners' Organisation > > >_______________________________________________ >Leninist-International mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To change your options or unsubscribe go to: >http://lists.wwpublish.com/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international > _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
