TMY (Anti-terror Law), which was debated for about a year, have passed from the parliament last month and also signed by the president.

While the colonialist Turkish fascism has stopped up in the face of the Kurdish national struggle, the development dynamics of workers and labourers' fight in the West has also strengthened despite the neo-liberal offensive laws. For the ruling classes, TMY is the inevitable continuity of the concept of offence that was started with the flag provocation during the Newroz demonstrations in 2005 by the dictatorship. It is the regime's necessity of organising its legal ground according to needs of the process. Throughout the period, the dictatorship did not hesitate to implement attacks which were representing an exercise for the new law. House raids, arrests and imprisonment of revolutionaries in various cities; the police shootings on the masses during the period of Amed uprising; tortures, imprisonments and prevention of people from seeing their lawyers and relatives while being in detention; imprisonment, banning and court cases against the press and journalists, at first the Kurdish press; imprisonment of Limter-Is union leaders and etc. were the de facto implementation of what is being tried to be legalized by the TMY. However, certain disagreements among the ruling cliques and anti-TMY opposition caused some delays for draft law to be put into force.

It is the Kurdish uprisings extending from Semdinli to Amed which finally have led the rulers to bring about a united will. In this period, the Generals have strengthened their initiatives. The bourgeoisie, through at first the AKP government, its media and oppositional parties, have combined their words and told the same things. Despite active opposition of wide-ranged social sections, from revolutionary forces to unions and democratic mass organisations, from journalists to intellectuals, the TMY has passed.

The real content of the illusion of democratization within the axes of EU among the wide masses, which was caused by the laws that were passed from the parliament one after another by the AKP during the first period of its government and which were containing some changes based on the achievements of the Kurdish national struggle, revolutionary, democratic struggle and the internal-clique conflicts among the ruling classes, have came to the open through TMY. Although the new TMY is not an "Integration Packet to the EU", it is a "packet integrated to the EU". Because it is fully appropriate with the process of political reaction which amounted by the USA and EU imperialists after the 11 September and was inspired in the content from the anti-terror laws putted into force after the London bombings in Britain. It has got the patent from the EU and the licenses from the USA. The concept of anti-terror now became an international instrument to consider all kinds of attacks on the working class and labouring masses as legitimate. This situation turns the anti-terror laws into a concrete agenda for the workers and labourers, the oppressed peoples' struggle and solidarity on the international level.

TMY legalizes the shooting of a person who do not obey the stop warning of the police, it turns into a reason the report given by a spy whose identity is not declassified through the concept of "pre-emptive detention", it puts limits on the lawyer-detainee conversations, gives the right to make "criminal control" to the security forces even for the crimes which require maximum penalty. Thus it frees the hands of the torturers, counter-guerrillas and assassins.

It clears the way for banning of political parties and mass organisations, for arbitrary attacks on the labourers' freedom of organisation and for arbitrary imprisonment and detention against the right to assemble and protest, and prepares the ground for much more intensive attacks towards the oppositional press, at first the revolutionary and the Kurdish national press. Thus, under the concept of terror, it declares all sorts of democratic, economic and politic demands by the workers and labourers as a crime.

In Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, the revolutionary, democratic and patriotic movement have succeeded in repulsing or making ineffective the numerous fascist laws such as the TMY, and have cleared its road with de facto legitimate struggle in spite of fascist prohibitions. Therefore, the TMY's destiny is not going to be different.
