On 6th January 2010 the police arrested 23 people in Ankar
a (Turkey) by
using brutal force. The arrests occurred during a dem
onstration and press
conference for the immediate release of the im
prisoned military objector
Enver Aydemir. One person among the arre
sted demonstrators has been
detained: our comrade and anarchist Vol
kan Sevinc has been in jail for 40
days. We protest the imprisonmen
t of Volkan Sevinc as well as the planned
conviction of 19 other co
mrades to prison sentences between 1-10 years on
the indictment "di
scouragement of the people from doing military service".
We?re goin
g to meet on Saturday\, 13 February 2010 simultaneously in Ankara
a
nd Istanbul as not yet convicted\, killing-refusing antimilitarists to d
o
another demonstration with the aim of "discouraging people of doi
ng military
service".
We invite all comrades worldwide to join
us in protesting against the fact
that the lives of people who opp
ose killing are transformed into a prison\,
and the fact that they
are imprisoned and tortured. We invite all refusers\,
antimilitaris
ts and anarchists to protest the state and its institutions by
