Support evening for ATIK held in Tampere Finland

The Workgroup Against Imperialism held a small-scale support evening for ATIK, which is facing police repression. Earlier in the day we had heard sad news about the reactionary attack in Turkey against the friends of Kobanê. We wrote a common letter of support for ATIK, which we’re sending in English:

Greetings comrades!

We Finnish anti-imperialists have followed with concern the police repression directed against ATIK. We understand that it’s about a general tendency of West-European imperialism, which will increasingly target all internationalists, revolutionaries and the broad democratic movement. The flip side of outwards directed military aggressions is the closing Festung Europa. The detentions demonstrate a common counter-revolutionary interest between West-European imperialism and Turkish fascism.

We, the Workgroup Against Imperialism, want to stay alert and express solidarity to the extent of our resources and in ways that would benefit you and your imprisoned comrades. We wish that you could disseminate this message of solidarity to these 12 comrades detained in April: Müslüm Elma, Seyit Ali Uğur, Musa Demir, Erhan Aktürk, Sinan Aydın, Banu Büyükavcı, Haydar Bern, Mehmet Yeşilçalı, Sami Solmaz, Gültekin Erol, Kaya Turgut and Pektaş Deniz.
With revolutionary greetings
Workgroup Against Imperialism

Diren ATİK, yoldaşların seninle!
