Update!

The situation is escalating!

Right now, the Turkish Televison stations are showing how the Army and
Policeforcers are surrounding several Turkish Prisons!

The Turkish state has a history of attacking and murdering
revolutionary prisoners!

This is probably a prelude to another massacre under Political
prisoners!

Another massacre attempt in Buca (Turkey)

This morning the gendarmerie attacked the prisoners of the DHKP-C in
the prison at Buca (Turkey). The prisoners had planned to hold a
commemoration for the revolutionary martyrs. This commemoration is
traditionally held from the last week of March to the first week of
April by the DHKP-C.

During the preparations, the prisoners were attacked by the
gendarmerie, and 11 persons were separated and taken away by the
gendarmes. To resist, the prisoners put up barricades. These
barricades are being attacked at this moment.

On September 21th, 1995, the gendarmerie carried out a massacre in the
same prison. Three DHKP-C prisoners (Yusuf Bag, Turan Kilic and Ugur
Sariaslan) lost their lives - they were beaten to death by the
gendarmerie who attacked the prisoners with weapons, gas bombs and
heavy iron bars.

All over the country the prisoners in other prisons are already
protesting against the latest attack. In the prisons of Bergama,
Umraniye/Istanbul and Ankara the prisoners displayed banners with the
slogan 4Come in if you dare" E In one prison, a guardian has been
taken hostage to forestall a new massacre by the authorities.

It is to be feared that this new attack will lead to the deaths of
more prisoners. This new attempt to kill revolutionary prisoners must
be prevented. We appeal to democratic public opinion to protest
immediately against the attack to stop it before any more prisoners
die.
