Şehit olmadan 1 gün evvel, hanımı ile Çanakkale Zaferi’ni konu alan bir filme giden savcımız, film çıkışında hanımına; Allah’ım bize de böyle şehit olmayı nasip etsin” diyor. Ertesi gün makam odasında son kez abdestini alıp namazını kıldıktan kısa bir süre sonra, Terörist Sol örgüt militanları odasına girerek savcımızı şehit ediyorlar. Unutmayacağız!

Turkey: Political musician on death fast against repression passes away

One of the most famous left-wing political music bands in Turkey, Group Yorum has been under constant pressures and harassment of the government, especially after the abortive military coup in July 2016. Band members have been facing detentions, arrests, and bans due to their political ideas. Some members have been on hunger strike for 261 days to protest these unlawful pressures. Two of them did turn their hunger strikes into death fast in January.

Helin Bölek and Ibrahim Gökçek were arrested about a year ago during a house search at the Idil Cultural Centre in Istanbul. They are accused of membership in the banned Revolutionary People's Liberation Party/Front (DHKP-C). Bölek was released in November 2019 and Gökçek on February 24. Both musicians continued their fast until the reprisals against the popular left music formation are ended.

Bölek and Gökçek were taken to Ümraniye Training and Research Hospital by force by the police on March 11. After six days they were brought back to the ‘Resistance House’, where they continued their actions after not allowing medical intervention.

Bölek has lost her life today, on the 288th day of her fast which calls for the release of the detained group members, the lifting of the arrest orders against them and an end to the ban on the performance of the band.

Comrade Helin Bölek, presente!

Kemal Gün is 70 and as of today (May 12) is on day 78 of his hunger strike and has started to lose his eyesight. He’s demanding his dead son’s body so he can give him a proper burial. His son, Murat Gün, 28, was killed as part of a raid on the extreme left group Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) in Dersim last year. Everyday, he’s fined 227 TL for protesting in Seyit Riza square. He says: “I may lose weight and experience health problems. I may even die here. But I will neither end my hunger strike nor leave this square. I will keep staying here with my will and honor. We Kurdish people must endure all this. We have experienced torture and everything else, and we should be able to cope with this too. I will stop the protest when they give the bodies of our children even if it is a single bone.”

It was published in two volumes in 1989, spanning more than 1000 pages. It has since become an important work amongst the radical left both in Turkey and abroad.
