They defended an independent country, democracy and socialism. For > this reason they were subjected to torture, massacred and imprisoned. This > war has been continuing for decades. Whatever imperialism and the oligarchy > have tried, they could not succeed to destroy and wipe revolutionaries out > of Turkey. Even during the conditions when our country was converted into a > bloodbath through massacres and torture, they could not succeed to make > revolutionaries submit them. The oligarchy in Turkey, in collaboration with > imperialism, constructed the Nazi camps called F-type prisons. It wanted to > isolate the captives in these camps and destroy their revolutionary beliefs. > It could not achieve this. > > Between December 19 and 22, 2000 massacred 28 captives, wounded and tortured > hundreds of them and opened the Nazi camps. > > The captives started a Death Fast action on November 19, 2000 by demanding > the closure of Nazi camps, abolish the Anti-terror law, closure of the State > Security Courts (The DGMs) and try of murderers and torturers. The state > threw 20 thousand bombs onto the Death Fast resisters on the 60th day of > their action, fired thousands of bullets, demolished 20 prisons and > massacred 28 prisoners. Then they succeeded to open the F-type prisons. > Their aim was to destroy the revolutionary beliefs and beliefs of those who > oppose the regime by opening these F-type camps. The rulers launched a > campaign of offensive against the democratic and revolutionary forces > outside prisons following the massacre of prisoners. They wanted to silence > almost everyone who mention the resistance and say "they also have rights" > have been intimidated, threatened, tried and arrested. > > THEY COULD NOT BREAK THE RESISTANCE OF CAPTIVES > > The contra-guerrilla, the media serving for the contra-guerrilla and all the > bureaucrats of the regime initiated a massive campaign of demagogy and > deceit, to break the resistance. > > THE COULD NOT BREAK THE RESISTANCE > > They massacred 28 captives by claiming that they were "saving lives". They > wanted to break the resistance by using torture. Each cells of the Nazi > camps was converted into a torture place. Everyone in the Nazi camps; > torturers from JITEM (Military secret service) and special teams, prison > wardens and prison directors, was mobilised. Both inside and outside the > prisons were converted into torture places. All those who demand the > "closure of F-types" were either intimidated or taken to courts. > > THE RESISTANCE HAS NOT REACHJ AN END > > They gave duties to the doctors of torturer, murderer and fascist Minister > of Health, Osman Durmus. With the demagogy of "saving lives" hands and feet > of prisoners were chained and they introduced serums by force. They would > not let them die and announce to the World's and Turkey's people's opinion > that "see, they are not dying, they are eating". This is what happened. A > Death Fast resistance on its 150 days was occurring for the first time in > Turkey. It has never extended this far. With this way they would convince > the people more easily to make them believe that there is no deaths. All the > F-type prisons and many hospitals were converted into torture houses to > carry out "force feeding". Tens of our people were left handicapped because > of this torture of "force feeding". They lost their memories and became > paralyzed. > > THEY COULD NOT BREAK THE RESISTANCE > > With censorship, oppression and intimidation they wanted to create the > impression of there is no such resistance by creating a deep silence but > they could not achieved this. > > The head teacher of murderers, Minister of Justice, wanted to intervene and > transfer tens of prisoners who are on the verge of death just before the > bayram (religious festival). With this way he was hoping to declare his > victory by announcing the end of resistance to the peoples of Turkey and the > rest of the World. > > Cengiz Soydas feel martyr during this torture of "forced intervention" on > the 150th day of resistance in Sincan F-type Nazi camp. > > There is a reality which neither the minister of justice nor his and his > regime's masters, that are imperialists, can understand. THIS COUNTRY IS > OURS AND WE ARE THE PEOPLE. Those who are struggling for the liberation of > their country and their people could never be intimidated and left their > causes because of the oppression of tyrants. The imperialists which > supervise this rule, keep secret the fact that they have always being > defeated by the struggle of the people. For this reason they tell lies. > Self-sacrifice and courage do not exist in the culture of imperialists and > their collaborators. Having no beliefs, treason, opportunism, exploitation > and tyranny are their culture. Therefore they think that they can make > people to abandon their causes by using oppression and fear or, if this does > not work, they try to buy them. > > Cengiz Soydas was one of those who did not abandon his cause because of the > oppression and torture of imperialism and its collaborators. He was a heroic > son of our people. He welcomed death together with his hundreds of comrades. > He did not live for himself but for his people and his country. He > sacrificed himself for Turkey free of the IMF, where there is no hunger and > poverty, for Turkey where Nazi camps do not exist and for independent, > democratic and socialist Turkey. They are in thousands and they will be tens > of thousands and hundreds of thousands. They will grow in each square metre > of soil of this country. And they will reply with the necessary response to > those who try to put the imperialist culture in power, which destroys > whatever left in this country that, belongs to us. Everyone will realise > that neither massacres nor Nazi camps will make them achieve anything. > > CENGIZ SOYDAS DIED TO KEEP ALIVE. In our country even a basic right can not > be possessed without paying heavy costs. This regime which became the > servant of imperialism has nothing to do with justice and democracy. It only > brings about starvation and tyranny. In our country where starvation and > tyranny exist, rights and liberties can only be gained by paying heavy > costs. If these costs are not encountered, the regime will continue to mess > with the people and destine them to hunger by playing the democracy game. > > Struggle against Nazi camps is struggle against the IMF, which condemn our > people to starvation and tyranny. It is a struggle against this fascist > regime which has no other interest but the interests of imperialism and its > collaborators and it is the same regime abolishing all the rights and > liberties. No matter what the reason is, those who do not see this reality > and those who do not want to see it, are those who have expectations from > this fascist regime. > > CENGIZ SOYDAS DIED TO KEEP ALIVE. There are tens more like Cengiz Soydas. > They are in their bed to face death. None of tortures and "forced > interventions" can prevent the victory of resistance. > > Those who say "life first" and "life is sacred" must show first how to > defend this life. The F-types are projects of imperialists. Those who do not > oppose F-type prisons and support the resistance of captives are defending > the policies of tyranny of the IMF. Everything is very clear now. No one can > hide themselves behind masks. Those who claim that they are opposing the IMF > must stand by the resistance of captives. There is no mid-way. The mid-way > is the area where imperialists carry out maneuvers to deceit prisoners and > the people. And therefore there is no mid-way. There is no solution in > escaping. Those who oppose the IMF and starvation and tyranny must stand by > the resistance against the F-type prisons. > > The resistance will continue despite the costs of tens of martyrs and > hundreds of injured. No one should dream of "if we wait, if we intervene by > force, if we leave them handicapped the resistance will end". The resistance > will continue. > > Today, when Cengiz Soydas sacrificed himself, is the day when everyone must > reexamine himself / herself and look again at the future. > > > Cengiz SOYDAS: > > Born in Trabzon (North of Turkey) in 1972.
