Concern over Turkish political prisoners

Turkey has a long history of jailing political prisoners and outlawing certain political parties based on their ideology. Some of the outlawed parties have never broken the law. The Turkish government just doesn’t want them to be legal. Members of those parties are jailed. Turkey also has a history of suppressing its Kurdish population, outlawing their dress, language and customs. -史蒂夫 奥托
The Association of Proletarian Solidarity (ASP) has taken up the cause of Turkish prisoners.

Let's denounce the Turkish fascist regime crimes!On 20th of February 2009, the fifth hearing of the trial against the 23Turkish comrades, that were arrested in September 2006 with the charge ofterrorism, will take place at the court of Besiktas (Istanbul).
This is only one of the many trials by the Turkish regime of Ankara againstall those democratic, antifascist, communist, anti imperialist and pacifistpeople who are struggling against the violence and the crimes of thisfascist Turkish regime and its genocide against Kurdish people.
Beyond the farce of the antidemocratic special courts, the persecutionscontinues still in the prisons where the political prisoners are searched,beaten and killed.This trial is a farce of the Ankara regime. This political trial attempts toput under attack once and for all the Turkish communist movement, that formany years has represented all the hopes of future for all the workingpeople and the popular masses in Turkey.Precisely in these months, the European imperialist states are supporting amedia campaign that represent a false democratic Turkey, able to enter inEurope.Behind this false campaign there are the great economical imperialistinterests hidden by the opening of Europe to Turkey. Because of these interests, Ankara regime is going on with the comradespersecution supporting illegal proceedings and political killings.
All European Communists, all the democratic people and the workers arecalled to reconfirm the solidarity with all the Turkish political prisoners,to express concrete solidarity with Kurdish and Turkish people.We must make this 20th February an international day of struggle to denouncethe real fascist nature of the Ankara regime.We must struggle against the disgraceful campaign carried out by theEuropean imperialist states to hide all the crimes of the Turkish regime.We must struggle against political and military collaboration of theEuropean states with the government of Erdogan's regime.This is the best way to express solidarity with all the Turkish politicalprisoners.
The Association for Proletarian Solidarity call all the organizations whichtook part in the conference of Colonia 2008, to protest on the next 20thFebruary in front of the Turkish embassies all over the European countriesagainst the fascist Turkish regime in solidarity with all the Turkish andKurdish political prisoners.

Long live revolutionary prisoners resistance!Let's struggle for the new world wide wave of the socialist revolution!
