From: dhkcbureau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2001 01:53:09 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ozgurluk] Turkey: 4th team of Death Fast Resisters: "WE ARE RESISTING, WE WILL RESIST...WE WILL WIN!" The fourth team of death fast fighters are on their way. "WE ARE RESISTING, WE WILL RESIST. WE WILL WIN!" On May 11, new larks flew off the prisons of Turkey. New fighters joined the existing death fast fighters. The response to the attacks, deceits and maneuvers of tyranny was a new team of death fast volunteers. In Edirne, Kandira, Sincan, Tekirdag F-type prisons, Kartal special type of prison and in some other prisons where political prisoners stay, tens of captives, 22 from the DHKP-C, declared that they are on Death Fast on May 11. (*) The captives replied the Justice ministry's demagogy, "since Article 16 has been modified, there is no reason to continue the resistance anymore", which could deceit no one, by increasing the strength of resistance. The causes, which required a massive resistance, were still there. Besides, because of the massacre of December 19 and the opening of F-type Nazi concentration camps, the causes are increased. Resistance Will Exist As Long As Tyranny Exists The fourth teams of volunteers are a response to the massacre, the ongoing isolation in cells and the torture of forcible medical intervention that the death fast fighters subjected to. The fourth teams of volunteers are the expression of the determination saying, "even though hundreds of us will die, this resistance will achieve victory". The fourth teams of volunteers are the expression of the great sacrifice of the all captives who put their lives on the frontline in order to make live the last standing captive with his or her own thoughts, human rights and political identity. While putting their headbands on they called out their last words. We all heard them and continue to hear them.This time they could not come together with their comrades to dance halay and put their headbands on. But this was only a non-significant difference. In each cell where the fourth teams of death fast fighters stay, again the same ceremony took place with the same spirit and enthusiasm. One by one they put their headbands on and cells witnessed this. They shout out their last messages to their comrades and people. They know and believe that, each of their words, determination and enthusiasm in their each word will reach to their destination. Could the walls and isolation choke their voice? The Free Captivity is the symbol of the best merits and custom of resistance in these soils. They are the Free Captives. In their oath they have said; "I swear on my headband which symbolise the honour of our people and I swear on my flag which takes its colour from our martyrs' blood that as a Free Captive I will fight and resist against the public enemies who want to make our people and captives surrender, until my last breath" The symbol of resistance, that red flag, became redder now and while each of them putting their headbands on they were taking up the legacy of their 53 comrades. They were also within the resistance for months anyway. They were shoulder to shoulder with their comrades during the massacre on December 19. They were resisting in the cells of Nazi camps. Except the short breaks, they were standing by their comrades by being on hunger strikes. Now, as death fast fighters, they are up front in this battle of willpower. Tyranny have been carried out numerous of maneuvers since December 9, in order to break the resistance. They used all known types of tyranny. They thought that, they would break the resistance with a massacre, if it does not work, by torture, with isolation, by keeping them apart, by intimidating and silencing the people outside the prisons, and if none of them works, with bribery and blackmail. They were wrong. The willpower, determination and heroism of free captives smashed all their methods. 46 Captives fell martyr until now. They thought that they could end the resistance by killing them. No! Say the captives. No! Say the fourth teams of death fast fighters. No! We are the people. You cannot finish us by killing. There are hundreds and thousands more. They will announce the fifth, sixth, seventh teams of fighters if necessary. The resistance will continue. Until, they gained their right to live with their own beliefs. Until, the end of isolation and being able to live together and collectively. "We are resisting, we will resist. And we will win!" For months they have been on their own in the cells. But they could not break their determination. They could break neither their individual willpower nor organisational willpower. Come on then, the media of Goebels, why do you not write in your papers "they are on death fast because of the pressure of the organisations" You were saying "dormitories are like liberated areas". Why do you not write now "cells are like liberated areas"? See, they still say "resistance, organisation and revolution" even in the cells. Yes it is true. The cells are liberated areas. Bu we are not talking about the prison cells. The cells of each captive's brains are the liberated areas. The system of tyranny cannot reach there. The filth of capitalism, fear of tyranny and selfishness cannot make those cells surrender. The system of tyranny is so weak and hopeless that it tries to destroy the minds of captives by the form of torture called "forcible medical intervention". Useless! The fourth teams of death fast fighters say "useless!" The captives shout, "your tyranny is useless!" The first and last words of captives is "WE ARE RESISTING, WE WILL RESIST.AND WE WILL WIN!" (*) The Fourth teams of volunteers is the mutual decision of all political movements in prisons. Almost all the political movements' captives took part in the fourth teams. Here, we announce the names of fighters whose names reached to us.
