Haci Orman informed in his written statement that he was kidnapped by a group who told him that they were from JITEM (Intelligence and Anti-terror Department of the Gendarmerie. This is a counter-guerrilla body within the army and its existence is officially denied by the fascist state) and then he was taken to the Anti-terror Department of the Police where he would be interrogated for two days.
Orman told that he was arrested in Kadikoy by being handcuffed by force; he had resisted against this; and after a long fight here, he was dragged along the ground and thrown at the back of a car; they had sat upon him in order to hinder him to look outside. They got off the car near an oil station, they took him out, tied up his hands and legs and began to beat and threaten him. He writes the following in his statement: "They told me that they are the members of JITEM, they asked me if I know about JITEM, they threatened me that they would bury me under cement and concrete and nobody could find my dead body".
Then, they called somewhere by phone and asked: "Brother, we have caught the son of an Armenian. He shouted out and he aroused the anger of the people. Should we throw him in front of the people to lynch him, or should we kill him on our own?" Haci Orman also wrote that they threatened him with killing him for many times while they were beating him and they asked him the following: "What do you prefer? Would you like to be killed by a bullet or by rope? Like Hrant Dink or like Saddam?"
Later, he was taken to the Anti-terror Department of Istanbul Police and he was interrogated there for two whole days and nights by some people who told that they are "Department Left-2 officers".
Haci Orman also stated that the police claims in their report that the documentary film about Kazim Koyuncu, famous singer who has died of cancer, made by BEKSAV Cinema Workshop, was made as a result of the instruction of an illegal organisation and the cultural centre BEKSAV in Istanbul was moved last month because the "organisation had instructed to do so".
During the detention process, they showed the roughly drawn plan of his house where he lives with his wife and son, the plan of the streets in front of and behind of his house, the connection points of the streets in the neighbourhood and other details.
Haci Orman also faced with questions and claims about many intellectuals and politicians such as Orhan Pamuk (writer who has won the Nobel Prize this year), Yasar Kemal, Akin Birdal, Osman Baydemir, Eren Keskin and Mehmet Bekaroglu. The police said the following words about the intellectuals: "Orhan Pamuk has escaped to the US. Where do you think Yasar Kemal will escape?" "He will be buried next to Chirac", "We are not threatening you, but look, you do not have Moscow any longer; you cannot go there. USA will accept Orhan Pamuk. But why should they accept Sanar Yurdatapan? For example, the place of Eren Keskin is Brussels. The place of Osman Baydemir is the Beqaa Valley. Akin Birdal survived just by chance" "Traitors of the motherland such as Nazim Hikmet, Ahmet Kaya, Yilmaz Güney lie under the ground of imperialism. Orhan Pamuk will lie under the ground in the USA. The place of Yasar Kemal is not known yet."
Haci Orman also informed that the police has used some disrespectful and dirty words about the Armenian intellectual Hrant Dink, who was murdered a few weeks ago, such as calling him "that bonehead", that bumpkin" and etc. Orman protested against this insults and they had a long argument on that.
Orman also told that his house has been observed persistently by the police since he was released and he has been following by many cars and persons. He informed that his house has been "robbed" for three times this year and now he has serious suspects about this.
Orman wrote about the attacks of arrestment and imprisonment on 8 and 21 September as well. He stated that he has seen very concretely that "they are trying to make the organisations and persons of the opposition ineffective and put them in silence through threats and intimidation" and he told that "everybody will see this when the hearings begin".
