The Saturday vigils that were started by ESP continue. At the demonstrations on 4 November in Izmir, İstanbul and Antep, ESP demanded the cancellation of the Anti-Terror Law and the article 301 of the Penal Code and the release of the ESP activists who were imprisoned. At the demonstrations, the banner "TMY to the dustbin, we want freedom!" was carried and the slogan "ESP cannot and will not be silenced" was shouted. On the other hand, 14 ESP members, who wanted to hold a manifestation, were attacked and taken under custody by the police in Amed. ESP activists stuck the "We want freedom!" campaign posters and wrote the slogans "We will win!", "The army of hope is growing, killing the hopelessness!" to the walls of the district Gazi osmanpasa/Istanbul. Some democratic mass organizations and parties including ESP, SDP and DTP made a demonstration in front of the Post Office in the district 1 Mayis of Istanbul and sent solidarity letters to the prisoners on 3 November.
