Third death in day 66 of the hunger-strike

[Zeynep Tufekcioglu <zeynept@xxxxxxxx>]

Ilginc Ozkeskin, 35 died today in the Bayrampasa prison on day 66 of the
hunger-strike.

Ilginc had been imprisoned since 1994. Like many others, he had not been
convicted yet. In Turkey, political prisoners have been jailed for up to 10
years without being convicted.

Ilginc was born in Dersim, a Kurdish city the Turkish government calls Tunceli.

The hunger-strikers are proving that human dignity is more powerful then all
the armies, all the police, all the jails the powers-that-be can muster.

Hear their call!

THE FASCIST TURKISH STATE CAN'T CONQUER DIGNITY!

Hunger strikes of hundreds of political prisoners in Turkey continues - day

preserve their political beliefs and be treated with the dignity due to a
human being.
