From: dhkcbureau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 23:59:44 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "[Ozgurluk.Org]" DHKC Statement: 161 (Disappearance of Yusuf Kirmizioglu) Date: February 13, 2001 Statement: 161 THE POLICE HAVE CONFESSED TO MAKING YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU DISAPPEAR! WHERE IS YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU? THEY MUST EXPLAIN! On February 14 there was news broadcast on Kanal D TV about YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU, who has been missing since January 6. Before the February 14 statement we had asked Kanal D and all other TV channels for information about him but we had not received a positive answer to our request. Here is the news Kanal D broadcast on February 14, based on police sources: YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU was a "living bomb": YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU was a wanted person, from Izmir the police had trailed him through the use of technology. First he went to Istanbul, then he went to Hatay, and because his phone was blocked the police lost track of his whereabouts. THE POLICE ARE TELLING LIES, THEY WANT TO MAKE THE DISAPPEAANCE OF YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU APPEAR LEGITIMATE. The police claim made in the TV news that YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU was a living bomb is a COMPLETE LIE. If they have proof of it they should produce it. The statement is meant to legitimise making YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU disappear. The police say YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU was wanted. We already said that in our statement No 157 of February 3, 2001. In the same statement we explained the direction he used to travel to Istanbul, what time, where from, which coach company, and we gave the identity of Aziz Gungor that he was using. The police said they were trailing YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU by means of his mobile phone. At the same time they stated that he was a "living bomb". If that was the case, the police allowed a living bomb to travel for 2,000 kilometres and 48 hours while they knew about it all the time. So, somebody who had a bomb on them and was being closely watched by the police went from Izmir to Istanbul and then to Hatay. And then all of a sudden they lost him in Hatay. If he were a living bomb and the police knew it, then why did they not intercept him and disarm the bomb? The "living bomb" claim is rubbish. Again if you remember, in Hurriyet newspaper on February 13 a list of "living bombs" was published by the police. If the police knew that YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU was a "living bomb" since January 6, why did his name not feature in that list? Perhaps the police knew that he was no longer dangerous because he had already been made to disappear? Hatay is where YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU'S family lives. We mentioned that in our February 3 statement. The police mentioned Hatay. They wanted to give the impression that they followed him but did not catch him and he had gone to see his family. They claimed to have looked for him and lost him in Hatay but they never asked his family or others there. If the police say, "We didn 't catch him, he went to his family," it is the duty of the police to find out where he is. His family are still alive in Hatay. He did not contact his family and they do not know where he is. If we leave to one side the lie about the living bomb and accept that he was trailed by the police; THE POLICE HAVE ADMITTED THAT THEY DETAINED YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU AND MADE HIM DISAPPEAR BECAUSE THEY MADE KANAL D TV BROADCAST NEWS ABOUT HIM. The meaning of this Kanal D news is that the police have confessed to it. The police have to explain how they detained YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU and how they made him disappear. Kanal D TV should not help the police in trying to make their disappearances seem legitimate. They have a responsibility to public opinion to tell the truth. This is an inescapable responsibility. The disappearances clearly show that Susurluk is continuing. Susurluk is on duty by means of the gendarmerie, the government and the police. They are continuing to slaughter and make people disappear. All public opinion which says it is against Susurluk must ask, "Where is YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU?" If you don't want to be a victim of disappearance yourself, you must ask about what happened to the disappeared, you have to hold the guilty accountable. WHERE IS YUSUF KIRMIZIOGLU?
