Do not be deceived because of the attention you receive if you go there on holiday. The natural attractions and fun should not make you blind. Yes, our country, Turkey, is a beautiful country with its natural setting and people. You could experience four seasons during the same day. These attractions are being destroyed every day, and those who live there are suffering as if they are living in hell. Turkey has been turned into a bloodbath. Massacres, torture, rape in police stations and murders in prisons are continuously taking place. The regime is covering up the real situation in Turkey today. For the last nine months, there has been resistance in the prisons. The revolutionary prisoners are continuing their death fast resistance demanding freedom, justice and democracy. Dozens of revolutionary prisoners have been massacred by being burnt and shot. Hundreds of them have been left crippled. Right now, torture is being carried out and the prisoners are being left crippled. The balance sheet: 53 prisoners and 4 families and friends of political prisoners, who are also on death fast to support the revolutionary prisoners, have lost their lives. 37 Prisoners have lost their memories because of being subjected to force feeding and forcible medical intervention. They do not remember their past. They have all become like the living dead. And there are hundreds more on the brink of death. The death fast resistance is continuing. Beaches, amusement centres, sun, sea and a cheap haven for a holiday. Are these what you think of when Turkey is mentioned? But these are not the true face of Turkey. The truth is: millions of people on the edge of starvation. The truth is: covering up the massacres with propaganda about tourist attractions. The truth is: F-type isolation prisons, torture, disappearances and massacres. If you want everyone to live with their beliefs, If you are for freedom of thought, If you defend human rights, If you demand law, order and justice, Do not support the state in Turkey. Because the money you spend there returns to the people of Turkey in the form of weapons, bullets, torture devices and tanks. Hear this call. This is the call of those who have been resisting for more than 200 days, refusing to surrender and saying "We Will Live With Our Own Thoughts". DO NOT GO TO TURKEY, THE COUNTRY OF DISAPPEARANCES, MASSACRES AND TORTURE. DO NOT SUPPORT FASCISM.
