ATIK trial
Mehmet Yesilcali: “The
revolutionary mind does not surrender”
In Munich’s high court, the trial of Muslum Elma, Seyit Ali Ugur, Haydar
Bern, Erhan Akturk, Musa Demir, Banu
Buyukavci, Sinan Aydin, Sami Solmaz, Mehmet Yesilcali and Deniz Pektas cadres
of ATIK that are being accused to be
members and leaders of TKP/ML, is continued. The trial is known as “the trial
of communists in Munich”. At the 29th of May the lawyers' request for Mehmet Yesilcali to be released on medical
terms was rejected.
Mehmet Yesilcali faces health problems from
long-term imprisonment and tortures in Turkish prisons, which have been
aggravated by two-year detention on the inhuman conditions of isolation and
torture in German prisons. Lawyers have filed the request in accordance with the
law for a long time now, on the basis of the medical records that monitor his
state of health.
The
court rejected the claim with the argument that the accused did not cooperate
with the court and did not give the information requested! Ιn the rejection of the request the seat of the
intercession provocatively emphasized:
“It is In your hand how much your penalty will be, accept the
accusations, be open to co-operation with the court in order to discuss your
release" ( !!!) Mehmet Yesilcali answered: “Their expectations are a sign that bourgeois prosecutors and judges do not know the revolutionary mind. We tell
them that those who think that we who have spent many years in prison and have
been tortured will surrender, are trying in vain. The revolutionary mind does
not surrender. “
It is common for the
German courts to try and use the accused immigrants as Collaborators and
traitors, using as a negotiating paper their access to medical treatment when they
need it, in case of health problems.
The International Committee of Solidarity to Political
Prisoners (UPOTUDAK) called for a
demonstration at the High Court in Munich on Friday the 2nd of June,
to protest against the inhuman and illegal attitude of the court.
