Police and State terror continues in Istanbul - the struggle is growing


The ongoing occupation of the Taksim Square and Gezi Park was attacked by police this morning. After the meeting of the Council of Ministers yesterday, the police came to the square early in the morning at about 7 o'clock; while shooting tear gas, the police made announcements that they were not going to attack the park. Hundreds of police entered Taksim Square pleading that there would be no attack on the park and saying that only the placards would be removed. While the placards on AKM were being moved away another group of police wanted to remove the tents on the square. The people tried to stop the police and police attacked them with tear gas.

While the attack of the police was taking place, many people started to come to the square to protest against this fascist attack. To stop more people coming, the police shot tear gas into the metro station and Taksim Metro station is now closed for transport.

The police are using heavy tear gas, sound bombs and plastic bullets while spraying pressurized water with water cannons. A group of resisters made a human chain standing arm-in-arm and the police shot tear gas canisters from a short distance. Many people were injured with canisters but after the effect of the tear gas wore off many people came together and made the chain again.

Although the police announced that there would be "no intervention" in the park, they made heavy use of tear gas in the park, even at the infirmary in the park - the injured ones had to be carried away from there.

Many people are injured with tear gas canisters and plastic bullets. Alp Altınörs, who is a member of Taksim Solidarity Initiative was injured with a plastic bullet to his forehead, and was hospitalised. It is known that the police are targetting people while shooting.

On the other hand, the police have started to raid political places and ofices. The bureau of the SDP (Socialist Democracy Party) was raided and many people were taken into custody by force. The police handcuffed the resisters and brutally beat them while they were being taken away.

Despite the harsh attack, the people on Taksim Square and in Gezi Park go on resisting. The fascist State, oppression and police terror cannot discourage us, our struggle goes on, our rage is growing and so is our struggle.

RIOT, REVOLUTION, ANARCHY!

The message the left wing government wants to transmit is that there is no space for solidarity and self-managed responses to the ordeal of the refugees, only the state’s charity and the confinement, marginalisation and selective deportation carried out by a government that follows to the letter the criminal immigration policies of the EE.

One day before the memorial of the assassination of Alexandros Grigoropoulos on December 6th, the Greek democratic dictatorship decided to activate in a tragicomic way its repression mechanisms in order to prevent the upcoming uprising of the society. All the regime’s servants are on the alert trying to manipulate the public opinion and terrorize the parts of the society that resist.

All these changes, came in secrecy, with the media showing their role once more. Very few journalists talked for this and what they did was just to accuse the government for wrong handling of the case. It is not a law for the general benefit. It is an effort to protect the repressive arsenal of the state towards the “internal enemy”. The totalitarian democracy prepares itself against the social explosions.

On 6th of January 2010, in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, a press release was arranged on Yuksel Street, for solidarity with conscience objector Enver Aydemir.
The Agile Police Force, waiting in the permitted explanation to finish, took the group into a chamber and asked everybody for their IDs. The police normally would not ask for ID in such a “constitutional” and “unsevere” and the “citizen” activist has no such obligation ask to inform the police before a press release.

Graffiti has appeared at the site of the bomb explosion in Ankara yesterday that reads "It was not terror that killed us, it was the state." This is reflecting the widespread belief that the true origins of the bombing that killed around 100 people at the pro Kurdish peace demonstration are to be found in Erdogan's AKP party desperate attempt to intensify conflict in the hope of polarizing the electorate ahead of Novembers elections. The same process in other words that those killed yesterday were demonstrating against.

In Böll’s universe, catharsis comes even by the distorted way of vigilantism. In real life, we watch every day the rapid fascist conversion of society, the nightmarish police-judicial fortification, the States’ arbitrariness (which are able to conveniently confess that they adduced and beat someone because he looks like someone else, as was the case recently with Dimosthenis Papadatos-Anagnostopoulos, member of the parliamentary party Syriza) and the media’s brinkmanship in the conductor’s part that step over anyone without punishment.

On 6 December, at nine in the evening, a man of the special police force stopped, took aim and shot dead a fifteen-year old kid in the neighbourhood of Exarchia, Athens. This murder is not a singular event of police violence. The morning of the same day, immigrants waiting to apply for asylum at the police station of Petrou Ralli avenue were attacked by riot police.

Yesterday, at a time when the tears have not dried and the rage is not settled yet for the cities burned down to rubble with tanks and bombing, hundreds of people killed, thousands of old, young, child, women and men wounded and unhoused; the images of the perpetrators taking medals are alive in our memories; when the tanks and planes which burned down the cities and killed the people targeted Ankara and Istanbul on July 15, yesterdays heros were declared traitors overnight. Thousands of people were stuffed into prisons, tens of thousands lost their jobs. [Türkçe] [Ελληνικά] [Italiano]
