GAZI POLICE STATION IS THE AKP'S TORTURE CHAMBER,
THE SECURITY GUARD FOR DRUG DEALERS.
REVOLUTIONARIES CANNOT BE MADE TO SURRENDER BY
TORTURE, REVOLUTIONISM CANNOT BE DESTROYED. WE WILL DESTROY ALL THE POLICIES OF
IMPERIALISM AND FASCISM BY RESISTING AND FIGHTING.
Gazi police station has become a centre where the AKP's anti-people
policies were implemented. Kidnapping, threats and torture, especially against
the revolutionaries, have become common methods used by Gazi police station in
recent times.
The reason for this was explained when they
detained a revolutionary after a public meeting on the campaign against drugs
at the Gazi cemevi (Alevi culture and religious centre), asking him “You don't
sell drugs, you don't drink, why do you bother?” The AKP police, who are drug
dealers, corrupt and who poison the people of the neighbourhood, also explained
the reason for their hostility towards the revolutionaries. With this hostility
and on the instructions of the Degenerate Suleyman, The Gazi police are attacking
the revolutionaries. In the middle of the street, they are detained amid
torture, the vehicles are turned into a house of torture, in the police
station, they break the bones of revolutionaries.
On
October 15, 2019, the Gazi police attacked the revolutionaries marching on the road, Ezgi Kul, Yunus Emre Didin, Vedat
Dogan and later, again in the same way, Çağdaş Aydoğdu and Onur Gül were detained under torture.
On 29 November, AKP police attacked the
revolutionaries marching on the road and detained Hüseyin KÜTÜK, Coşkun ÖZTEKIN
and Yusuf Gülen. The detained revolutionaries were again tortured. Ribs were
broken, eyes were swollen, feet left bruised, arms were wounded and swollen
from torture.
The
AKP wants to destroy revolutionism. This desire is primarily the will of
imperialism. All over the world, they want to end revolutionism, destroy
patriotism, destroy all obstacles to their exploitation and pillage. “We will
not let you engage in revolution here,” they say to the revolutionaries
detained by the AKP police. They aim to dismantle the revolutionaries from
Gazi. On the one hand they poison the people with drugs, on the other hand they
try to intimidate the revolutionaries by attacking them and trying to make them
retreat.
Why Gazi?
GAZI
because it is the Gazi front.
Because
GAZI IS THE FRONT.
Because
GAZI IS THE REVOLUTIONARY FRONT.
Dozens of Gazi revolutionaries were involved in the war to end the rule
of fascism. Gazi has prisoners and martyrs. Gazi revolutionism is one of the
most important neighbourhoods where the organisation and the people become
flesh and blood. Gazi is one of the areas where the policies of the front come
to life.
That is why the AKP is targeting Gazi district. The AKP has targeted the
neighbourhoods where the front is organised and is attacking them with all its
might. Neighbourhood police stations are no longer neighbourhood police
stations as known in the past. They're all torture centres. Where torture is
done professionally. The conversion of police stations into torture centres is
the result of the state's organisation for Civil War. Organised for Civil War,
the state has extended its anti-people
policies from its centres to its lowest-ranking police stations.
No
one can distinguish between ”torturers“and ”ordinary" police anymore. The
entire police force has been turned by the AKP into torturers. The smallest
police unit is a torture facility as part of the war against the people.
What is torture?
Torture is the policy of psychological and physical oppression and
violence systematically applied by imperialism and fascism against the people
and revolutionaries.
Although the aim of this policy may seem to be to
break one's will, it is essentially to create pressure and fear among the
people as a whole. Torture of individual persons breaks one's will, forcing him
or her to surrender. The purpose of this is to get some information from the
person. The revolutionary is asked to betray his comrades, betray his people and
homeland. When “sweet language” is used from time to time, threats and insults
begin when this doesn't work, then physical torture when that doesn't work. The
purpose of physical torture is to break the will by inflicting pain on the
person.
Pain is an emotion that the body feels due to
some external and internal factors of the nervous system. Pain is felt more or
less according to the area being pressured and the method used. The purpose of
torture is not just to make this pain felt, but to be able to influence one's
thoughts with this pain, to create the feeling that more and worse might be
inflicted, or even to open a breach in his will by creating the fear that he
can be killed.
The
main purpose of torture is to intimidate the people by keeping them under
pressure, to try to prevent them from becoming revolutionaries and fighting for
their own future. Torture is a systematic policy against the peoples of all
countries where there is a revolutionary struggle and there are wars of
independence against the occupation of imperialism. The torture policy has been
used by imperialism and its collaborationist powers in all countries of the
world, from Africa to Asia, from Europe to Latin America.
Why does the state resort to this method?
The
state's soldiers, police and MIT (Turkish state intelligence service) all
engage in torture. Torture has never fallen off the agenda of our country for
many years. Almost every revolutionary who is detained, even ordinary people,
and the people who go to the police stations for ordinary reasons, are
tortured.
Why do the state, the police, the military
torture the people and the revolutionaries?
This is due to exploitation and poverty. It is to
prevent the poor from wanting their rights and fighting for their rights. It is
the people resorting to mass suicides in poverty while they themselves reign in
palaces every day. Last month, as reported in the press, there were mass
suicides with cyanide in Istanbul and Antalya. These suicides developed in the
form of a rebellion against poverty. However, according to reports dated 5
December, 2019, 8 million Turkish lira have been spent on Parliament. It's been
decided to open a restaurant there.
That is the reason for the torture. A people struggling with hunger and
poverty, and a bunch of parasites who sell the whole country and use it as
their father's farm.
Poverty is the cause of revolutionism and revolts. In a country where
there is poverty and exploitation, the most natural thing is to fight against
it. The revolutionaries do that. The right and legitimacy of the
revolutionaries frightens the state. The potential to rally and fight against
exploitation by organising the people scares the state and the exploitative
ruling classes. They know best that their capitalism underlies murders,
despicable crimes against the people. This is the cause for revolution. Fears
that ”they will come from the slums and cut our throats" are also the
cause of the torture they are doing.
What should we do against torture?
Yes, we are faced with a state and its institutionsthat have no morals
or values that attack the people and revolutionaries. What should we do against
it? Either we're not going to do anything by saying, “the enemy is the enemy,
the enemy is doing what it does,” or we're going to expose that policy.
The
right thing to do is to expose it. We need to expose the state's torture, the
police, the MIT, the military's torture and the reasons for these tortures.
Graffiti, banners, leaflets, press releases. We
have to go from house to house, visit the shopkeepers, and go from person to
person, exposing the torture. We need to use the Internet, mobile phones, all
kinds of methods.
In particular the police station where the
torture is carried out should be exposed immediately. The way to frustrate a
policy is to expose it while resisting it.
We have to tell the whole people the reason for
the state's torture. We have to tell women, old people, children, young
people... all the people. We should, because the way to frustrate any policy of
fascism is to organise the people.
As
a result, torture is the policy of oppression and violence imposed by
imperialism and fascism against the people. He's illegitimate. Torture is a
crime, torture is dishonour.
The purpose of torture is to ensure the
continuation of the schemes of
imperialism and its collaborators for exploitation. For this they want
to get the revolutionaries to seek conciliation and surrender by attacking and
torturing them, in order to end the struggle against exploitation, hunger and
poverty.
That's why they attack neighbourhoods where the
Front is organised, they attack Gazi.
Gazi Is The Front!
Gazi Is Revolution!
It is the place where the people meet the
Revolutionary Organisation. They won't be able to dismantle Gazi's
revolutionism. We're not going to let that happen. And we will destroy the
policy of torture by resisting and exposing it.
WE ARE THE PEOPLE, WE ARE RIGHT, WE WILL WIN.
