Meanwhile one year has passed. Until June 2007 the revolutionaries and communists, who have been detained between 8-12 September 2006, have been imprisoned in the dungeons of the fascist dictatorship without even knowing what they are accused of. The aim of the dictatorship was known: to collect "proofs" and "documents". But no matter what kind of "accusing", serious and numerous "proofs" and "documents they ever will collect, anyway the result is absolutely clear from the point of view of the two wills fighting against each other.
The fascist dictatorship demands several times lifelong for Ibrahim Cicek (chief editor of the newspaper Atilim), Sedat Senoglu (news coordinator of the newspaper Atilim), Ziya Ulusoy and Bayram Namaz (columnists of the newspaper Atilim), Fusun Erdogan (chief coordinator of the radio channel Ozgür Radyo), Naci Guner, Arif Celebi, Sultan Ulusoy, Adem Serkan Gundogdu, Ali Hidir Polat, Seyfi Polat, Mehmet Ali Polat and Erkan Özdemir and for Erkan Salduz, Turac Solak, Elif Almakca, Hatice Bolat, Fatma Siner, Hasan Ozan, Arzu Torun, Soner Cicek, Fethiye Ok and Bilgi Tagac sentences of 10.5 and 45 years of prison.
At the trial at 26 October 2007 at the 10th Heavy Penalty Court in Besiktas, Istanbul, the communists will condemn the fascist dictatorship. They will transform the stage, which has been prepared for their condemnation, into a stage were those, who accuse them will be condemned. In the court, two ideologies, two classes will be confronted which each other.
The charge against the 23 revolutionaries and communists, detained during the attacks in September 2006 against our party and socialist organisations, is one part of the oppression and liquidation of the communist and revolutionary movement. In the charge sheet, which was secret so long and contains 292 pages and many apparent "proofs" the prosecution demands 3000 years of prison for the communists.
In the face of the trial coming closer, the protests amount in Turkey and also at the international scale. In Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Antakya, Adana and Bursa meetings took place simultaneously, where it was said that the revolutionaries and communists cannot be convicted. The activities in relation with this issue are continuing.
Many friendly, revolutionary and communist organisations and circles made it known and continue to do so at international level, that the communists cannot be convicted. Many committed, revolutionary and communist persons will come as delegates to Istanbul in order to observe the trial, to be on the side of the prisoners and to show their solidarity.
This trial should be transformed into a stage, where the fascist dictatorship is condemned also internationally.
On 26 October, the working class and its struggle are accused in the name of 23 revolutionaries and communists.
Our party calls upon all revolutionaries, communists and all forces, which are on the side of the working class, to condemn the fascist dictatorship all together on 26 October.
Our party calls upon you to rise the flag of the international proletariat on 26 October.
Our party calls upon all antifascists, revolutionaries, communists and committed lawyers to participate in the trial as observer, to participate in the actions, meetings, messages in order to condemn the fascist dictatorship.

Long live international solidarity!
Let us condemn the fascist dictatorship together!
