An investigation was started by Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's office about our newspaper related to articles "Both Arrival and Departure of State is From Fear", "Banned Until Further Order", and "Recreating Life" in the 30. issue of our newspaper published on December 2015 with the caption "Banning Everything". The lawsuit following the investigation ended after almost a year of trials.

[Castellano] [Ελληνικά] [Türkçe] [Italiano]

On the summary judgment yesterday, the court sentenced the managing editor of our newspaper Hüseyin Civan to 1 year and 3 months of imprisonment with the charge "making the propaganda for the methods of a terrorist organization constituting coercion, violence or threats through legitimizing or praising or encouraging the use of these methods".

As we emphasized in the articles leading to the investigation, "State will never be able to captivate the passion of freedom of and the conviction of freedom of the peoples".
As an anarchist newspaper knowing that the free life that we believe in can only be created through struggle, we will never give up writing what we stand up for and distribute what we write. We will continue to resist, act and write against oppression, investigations, custodies and arrests.

Turchia: condannato a pena detentiva l'editore responsabile del giornale anarchico Meydan
L'inchiesta era partita dall'ufficio del procuratore in capo di Istanbul in relazione al contenuto degli articoli "Lo Stato non fa che diffondere ed usare la paura", "Proibito fino a nuovo ordine" e "Ricreando la vita" all'interno del n°30 del nostro giornale pubblicato nel dicembre 2015 col titolo "Proibire tutto". Alla sentenza si è giunti dopo quasi un anno di indagini e di udienze.

Con giudizio sommario, ieri il tribunale ha condannato l'editore responsabile del nostro giornale Hüseyin Civan a 1 anno e 3 mesi di prigione con l'accusa di "procurata propaganda dei metodi di un'organizzazione terroristica fondati sulla coercizione, sulla violenza e su minacce tramite la legittimazione o l'apologia o l'istigazione all'uso di tali metodi".

Come mettevamo in rilievo negli articoli messi sotto accusa "Lo Stato non riuscirà mai a mettere in gabbia la passione per la libertà ed il convincimento della libertà nelle persone".
Come giornale anarchico sappiamo che la vita libera in cui crediamo si può conquistare solo tramite la lotta, ecco perchè non smetteremo mai di scrivere ciò in cui crediamo e di farne diffusione. Continueremo a resistere, ad agire ed a scrivere contro l'oppressione, contro la repressione, la carcerazione e gli arresti.

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]

With a non-seen before operation of revenge against no border camp, they attack in the crack of dawn on families of refugees in their own homes and on the solidaries.

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.

The Villa Amalias squat has been an open political, cultural and social space, as well as a housing collective, for the past 23 years. In all these years there have been plenty of active groups in the squat including groups on theatre, concerts, musical studio, stained glass, kids’ space, dancing, foreign languages, computing, printing press, screenings, lending library, vinyl exchange – while the squat has also hosted plenty of political and cultural events by other groups. Apart from these activities inside its building, Villa Amalias has also contributed to the resolution of neighbourhood issues by participating in the residents’ assembly of Victoria square and by organising open, outward looking activities in the area – including open mic interventions, free markets, collective kitchens and kids’ events at the square.

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.
