The Anti-imperialist Camp calls for massive participation: The death fast of the political prisoners in Turkey against the implementation of isolation cells has been going on for several months. Many of their relatives also joined the struggle. Houses of resistance have been installed in the slums of the big cities to involve the population in the movement. Now, there is the threat of a new massacre, this time addressed against the mothers, sisters and brothers, against all relatives who have joined the fighters. The police and army have surrounded Armutlu, a slum in the city of Istanbul, threatening to suffocate the resistance in blood. It is imperative to prevent the menacing massacre of Armutlu. This means to keep an international solidarity delegation continuously present in Armutlu, as well as to spread information worldwide and to hold protests in front of Turkish or NATO institutions. Yesterday, the first solidarity delegations including a delegation of the Anti-imperialist Camp are leaving for Turkey from different European countries. Other delegations will follow in the coming weeks. The delegation of the Anti-imperialist Camp is reporting that today the 63rd martyr, the 38 year old H�lya �im�ek, has given live to the cause of the people on the 286th day of her death fast. Her dead body has been broad to Armutlu and this night there will be a popular celebration and a procession passing by the entire quarter at which the solidarity delegation will participate. During the day the delegation participated in the trial against 12 female political prisoners being accused among others to have killed three fellow inmates during the attack by the state against the political prisoners of the �mranye complex on December 19 of last year. A protest meeting of the relatives taking place in front of the court was dissolved by the police using savage violence against women and elderly.
