Solidarity with the CP of Turkey Dear Comrades
Yesterday in Turkey, in the port of Iskenderoun, the Army and the Police forces attacked violently a demonstration of CP of Turkey against the transfer of US military materials through their country. We forward you a draft translation of the protest letter submitted by our Party to the Turkish Embassy in Athens ..... Letter of protest to the Turkish Embassy In Athens The Communist Party of Greece expresses its vigorous protest for the violent repression of cadres of CP of Turkey that were demonstrating peacefully against the transfer of US military material in the frame of the war preparations against Iraq. We especially denounce the gunshots, the arrests and the beatings that were used by units of the Army and the Police of your country. These actions meet the justified anger and indignation of all those who fight against the dirty war on the Iraqi people, especially considering that even the Parliament of Turkey has not given its permission for similar "facilitations" to the Americans. We express our solidarity with the arrested demonstrators and with all fighters of the antiwar movement in Turkey, and we shall utilize all opportunities to strengthen the international solidarity as well. We claim the immediate release of all arrested persons and the punishment of the responsible ones for the violent raid of the oppression forces. We demand the undertaken of concrete measures to ensure the right to demonstration as well as other political rights for the workers and their organizations For the International Section of CPG Babis Angourakis _______________________________________________ Marxist-Leninist-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxist-leninist-list
