The Turkish bourgeois state has continued with its attacks against the organisations of the Kurdish national liberation movement after the DTP was banned by the Constitutional Court. Last week many Kurdish patriots were arrested as a result of the raids on houses and offices in 11 towns, among them 7 mayors who continued to work with the Peace and Democracy Party ( BDP ) after the DTP was banned as well as Hatip Dicle, the co-president of the Democratic Society Congress, and 47 out of them imprisoned. The representatives elected by the Kurdish people were taken to court with handcuffs and made walk one after another in a single queue. This picture turned into a symbol of the colonial fascist characteristic of the Turkish bourgeois state.
The detentions of the BDP activists were answered with huge protests. Those mayors not being arrested said that they committed the same crime as the arrested and that they will continue to do so. At some places the mass actions were attacked by the police with gas bombs and pressurized water. The protests are continuing.
