On the 6^th of September, the day when UN General Secretary Kofi Annan came to Ankara, the revolutionary forces, which freed the streets of Ankara against the Annan-Erdogan talks and the parliament's decision to send troops to Lebanon on the day before the visit, had resisted from barricade to barricade on the police attacks and 60 of them were arrested. The people who were arrested were taken to court after being kept for two days in the Anti-Terror Department.
Among those 35 people, who were taken to court under the allegation of "spreading fear and panic among the people in connection with the aim and strategies of terrorist organisations", 18 of them including 6 ESP (Socialist Platform of the Oppressed) and HOC (Rights and Freedoms Front) activists are imprisoned.
The fascist dictatorship, which approved the sending of troops to Lebanon in spite of the resistance of revolutionary, democratic organisations and anti-imperialists, and opposition of 85% of the population of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, is trying to repress the atmosphere created by ongoing resistance against the occupation even after the parliament's approval. But the actions, organised against the imprisonments in Istanbul and Ankara, have proved that all those attacks are in vain and will not stop the resisters.
