DHKC:OUR WAR OF RESISTANCE IN THE F-TYPE CONTINUES WITH OUR

EIGHTH DEATH FAST TEAM AND OUR HUNGER STRIKE

Our people:

Despite the deep censor ship being practised against

our resistance to tyranny and isolation, we are

continuing our resistance in the isolation cells. The

revolutionary prisoners wrote epics of their

resistance in the years after the September 12, 1980

military coup, in the face of multi-faceted

censorship.

We are certain that the epic of resistance currently

being written in the F-Type prison cells will reach

our people one way or another.

We are certain that the power of the resistance to all

wrongs will grow, with the determination to resist

tyranny that we have shown.

We are certain that tens of millions will put into

effect the ideals that we have defended against

tyranny at the price of our deaths. Up to now our will

has never been broken. Nor will it break in the

future.

Our people!

To show once again the willpower and determination of

our resistance, another group of our comrades started

the Death Fast on May 1, 2002, as the Eighth Death

Fast Team. On the same day all DHKP-C Trial prisoners

started a hunger strike, which will last until May 15.

Our Eighth Death Fast Team started the Death Fast on

May Day, the day when our people, in our country and

the world, go out into the streets to demand justice

and freedom.

On May Day, while red banners were being carried out

into the city squares, our comrades in prison

accompanied them by tying new red headbands around

their foreheads.

Our people?s shouts of anger in the streets and

squares on May Day against the F-type cells and

against isolation even reached our cells. The voice of

tens of thousands shouting ?Long live our Death Fast

resistance? filled our cells.

This voice is the voice for whose sake we are

resisting.

This voice is the voice we trust under all conditions.

This voice is the voice of confidence in us.

Up to now, we have not disappointed those who trust in

us and believe in us, and we never will.

Our fight is the same, whether in city squares or

isolation cells.

One front in this fight is against isolation, another

is against the IMF, while yet another front opposes

the USA and Israel. The struggles of various sections

of our people, with their different demands, form

streams that unite into one river. We are a mighty

river of fighters and resisters. This river will flow

on to the liberation of our people. And sooner or

later it will flow into the sea!

This is our word to our people, from the cells in

which we resist; in each and every area we call on the

resistance to grow.

In total there are eight of our comrades in the Eighth

Death Fast Team. One in Edirne F-Type, one in Tekirdag

F-Type, two in Kandira F-Type, two in Sincan F-Type,

one in Kiriklar F-Type and one in Bakirkoy Prison for

Women and Children. On May Day our eight comrades tied

red ribbons round their foreheads as flags in our war

of resistance to tyranny, and they will bear them with

honour like our comrades who have been martyred.

The murderer Justice Minister Sami Turk can continue

to count our dead. Our resistance war against the

isolation in the F-Type prisons and the policies that

turn the entire country into an F-Type prison cannot

be ended.
