Paris Police Attack 150 Sympathizers And Revolutionary Activists
>From Turkey

     Last Tuesday night, the French police launched a large wave
of arrests against friends and sympathizers of the revolutionary
front in Turkey. The police searched dozens of houses and locked
up our comrades in police stations, without giving any reason.
What was the reason for one of the largest searches in recent
years? Where they searching for drug dealers or a serial killer?
Maybe somebody who smuggles people? Or were they trying to
dismantle a prostitution ring? Nothing of the kind. The French
police just wanted to silence the voices of revolutionaries from
Turkey. The only crime our comrades are guilty of is being
revolutionaries or supporters of revolutionaries. Looking at the
crimes which are committed by French policemen and their bosses,
we ask ourselves: What interests do they have in these attacks?
What were they looking for? Why are they collaborating with the
fascist regime in our country, using their methods?
     We demand the immediate release of our comrades and an end to
the arbitrary punishments. Our struggle will continue as long as
fascism rules in our country and there will always be sympathizers
and militants who support our struggle in the countries where our
people seek asylum. The French police would do better with
occupying themselves with the real criminals in France like drug
dealers and people who deal in human beings. 
     We strongly condemn these arbitrary and despicable acts,
perpetrated by the French police, and we appeal to the democratic
and progressive public opinion to express its protest.
