In our very recent history we are faced, more than ever, with the facts that
the oppressed and the downtrodden have nothing to lose in their struggle to
achieve freedom and equality, except their chains. During this period, various
forms of fascism have been systematically responsible for inhibiting the
potential and actual movements of the oppressed: from nationalist fascism to
religious fascism. And of course it should not be forget to mention that the liberal
democracy has also its own fascistic character with their discriminating laws,
educational systems and the trained police forces, which all together are in
connection to troll of the Capital and for providing more profits for the
"one percent" at the top. The system being dominated today on the destinies
of the nations, not only is unable to provide equal human rights, while presenting
that as a disgusting formality, but also in order to guarantee the interests of
the untroubled rich part, divests much of the rights from many parts of the
societies, and puts the opponents under repressions. Today in a large sections
of the earth, the people are fighting to access to the most elementary rights
and at the same time are repressed: the right to choose free life for refugees
and asylum seekers, the right to determine the own destiny by the nations; the
right to acquire minimum welfare and job security for the workers, the social
rights and equality for women and etc.. Governments or more precisely, the
local rulers of the global system, justify all aspects of repressive measures
and approaches, by their own manipulated means. They speak in different languages
and discourses about current trends of deprivation/control/suppression. As they
say: it is because of the lessons of our excellent religion and the will of
God, it is because of the benefits of our nation and the better density of our
ancestral land, it is necessary to save our democracy or economic security (the
security of the rich).
Accordingly, any kind of protest
against the existing inequality from will be interpreted and labeled in advance,
by the inherent guards of the system, as a revolt against the will and benefits
of the public. By reviewing various articles and provisions related to the
discriminatory laws in different countries, it will be revealed that regarding
the existing capabilities of the mankind, the human societies have taken a huge
step back from their historical achievements towards realizing freedom and
equality. Particularly, the current structures of power, the necessity of
unfair and discriminating laws is theorized and justified in very shameful
methods by the army of experts and professionals. Then these fake discourses
are imposed in nice packages upon the people, by the army of the state-affiliated
intellectuals and journalists, through non-stop repetitions in mainstream media.
On the other hand, in addition to the structural
violence hidden in laws and medial authority, governments enjoy another source
of legal violence in form of police and army, which are used in necessary
occasions. Of course applying this type of violence requires theoretical
supports and legal justification, which are in turn provided by the religious
and nationalist doctrines of fascism and also by the dogma of liberal
democracy. Outstanding examples of this trend can be seen today in different
forms: the military attacks and bombardments with the slogan of granting
democracy, mass executions and genocide with religious and nationalist claims, oppressing
the lower-class struggles and people rights to rule their own destinies, on the
name of the battle against terrorism. The general formula in all these
suppressions is described as: "whoever who is not obeying us is against
us!" In this way, any action for achieving a discarded right is pictured
as an anti-government action, namely is regarded as a criminal. In this
situation, surrounded by such an impasse, it is not surprising that
hunger-strike becomes the only available armament to the political prisoners to
keep their resistance and to express in public the contents and intentions of
their resistance.
The fact that currently many political activists in different countries
are imprisoned, regardless of the formal reasons of their detentions, which is
related to the local political circumstances, indicates that the dominating system
in all its appearances as different governments is compelled to extinguish the
voice of the opponents. For example, today about one thousand political
prisoners in Turkey and nine female political prisoners in Iran are on hunger
strike. Both groups have challenged the fascist systems: nationalist fascism in
Turkey government and religious fascism in Iran.
Since we, consider our movement as part of the global struggles of the
workers and the oppressed towards freedom and equality, we find ourselves in
alliance with the hunger-striking prisoners in Turkey and Iran, as well as with
the hunger-striking asylum seekers in Australia, and hereby, we announce our
solidarity and alliance with them. We also warn the respective governments that
they will be accounted responsible for any possible harm to the health of the
hunger- striking prisoners and asylum-seekers in these countries. In the same
context, we plea all awaking lives and independent groups to do their best
efforts for protecting the mentioned hunger-strikers and to help them fulfill
their right demands. We are together able to put the European governments and
international societies under pressure for abandoning their indifferent and
double-standard behaviors with this respect and replacing that with transparent
measures. Regarding the close relationships between the governments of Germany
and Turkey, we should warn here the German government that we, striking
asylum-seekers, are carefully observing their political reaction to the danger
threatening the hunger-striking prisoners in Turkey and we will consider this
reaction as an essential part of the general treatment of German government to
our own protests, because for us the way of treatment to such fundamental
issues could not be split to different standards. Hence, the way of reaction of
German government to the situation of hunger-striking prisoners in Turkey will
directly influence our judgments about the formal promises given from German
government as initial response to our protests. This behavior will in turn
directly affect our decisions for the future forms of our street protests.
Solidarity and Battle!
