117 lives given up to oppose isolation! The calendar was set at October 20, 2000. The political prisoners decided to resist the state of Turkey's project to set up isolation prisons. In the face of the state's uncompromising attitude, the prisoners started the Death Fast (a form of hunger strike). Because isolation and torture mean death. The prisoners preferred death while resisting to surrender. The state couldn’t break the resistance |

Jump To Comment: 1It is an absolute shame and disgrace what these political prisoners and their families have endured over the last number of years. I was present at a meeting with representatives of these socialist prisoners when they visited Belfast a number of years ago. After watching a video of what is being done to these brave people, many of the resisting prisoners being little more than young girls, I can honestly say I was moved to tears.
That they are still suffering such horrific losses today while the world remains silent makes me want to scream. Their resilience, commitment and dignity in death and suffering stands in stark contrast to the absolute inhumanity of the regime which murders them. When 18 and 19 year old girls face bulldozers and machine-gun wielding thugs with only their bodies and their beliefs it puts some of the petty little political squabbles on this site into perspective.
The tactic of hungerstrike is synonymous with political protest in this country. I would therefore plead with users of this site not to turn their face away from this heartbreaking series of events and aquaint themselves with what is going on within the Turkish prison regime. Many of these people have been imprisoned simply for possessing a copy of a banned newspaper. The facist regime which murdered them is on the verge of being accepted into the EU. I would urge people to vist these peoples website, see whats happening for yourself. The world truly is a dark and evil place.
