Turkish Anarchists, Arrested in December, Still Held for "Propagandizing"
February 15, 2002 - 1:00pm -- jim
Derleyici from Otonomedya writes "Anarchists in Usak (a small city in Turkey) were arrested on the 1st of December, 2001. Their first trial was held on the 13th of February in Zmir State Security Courts.
The anarchists from the Usak Anarchist Autonom were arrested at a public demonstration against the current economic crisis. They were accused of "distributing illegal pamphlets" and "joining an illegal organization".
The anarchists were in held in prison until the 13th of February without given a trial. Their first trial in court was on this day. They were accused of violating the Article 7/2 of Anti-terror Laws ("making propaganda for an illegal organization"). One organization cited was the Anarchist Youth Federation (AYF), which is in the Anarchist Platform. The anarchists refused this accusation.
The court set one of the anarchists (Serkan) free due to insufficient evidence, but he is still going to be judged with the others who are still under arrest.
The next trial will be on 3th of April, 2002. We will keep on informing you.
