Look Robert, the government will either "rehabilitate" these prisoners, or
kill them. Do you have any information about the phychological and physical
torture methods used in the Turkish prisons? Learn, if you don't. These
people have drawn the line. They will rather die fighting, then let the
state kill their mind, or if not successful, their bodies. They are not
comitting suicide, they are resisting with the only weapon they have left -
their lives, their bodies.

Also, the slogan is not drowning the facists in our blood. The translation
of the slogan is:

"We will drown Fascism will in the blood it sheds".

Where the hell does it say we are going to kill ourselves and drown them in
that blood?

You prefer to drown them in their own blood. Fine. Hop on a plane here and I
swear I'll make sure we' arrange appropriate logistics enabling you to just
that. We'll pay for the plane ticket, if that's the problem. I'm damn
serious. Either take up this offer or shut the fuck up as I find myself
compelled to read everything with the subject line of a hunger-strike.

THE FASCIST TURKISH STATE CAN'T CONQUER DIGNITY!

Hunger strikes of hundreds of political prisoners in Turkey continues - day
65. Aygun Ugur, 25, fell on day 63 and Altan Kerimgiller, 26, on day 65. The
prisoners are fighting for the right to preserve their political beliefs and
be treated with the dignity due to a human being.

Protest! Get the word out!

Prime Ministry          : +90 312 417 04 76
Ministry of "Justice"   : +90 312 425 34 55

VICTORY TO THE DREAM AND THE FIGHT FOR A BETTER WORLD!
