Dear comrades and friends
We are writing to request
your support for the urgent campaign for the freedom of our comrade,
Müslüm Elma. He is a tireless communist leader that having endured
long years of imprisonment in Turkey, since April 2015, remains
incarcerated in prison in Munich, Germany.
He is one of the 10
comrades that were arrest in April 2015 as part of joint
German-Turkish operations against our party. To date 9 of those
arrested have been released. However, the case of comrade Müslüm
Elma remains open as the German state intends to continue to
prosecute and keep him in prison.
Comrade Elma suffers from
multiple health conditions that are due to the long years of
imprisonment, being subjected to torture and ill-treatment and the
result of repeated hunger strikes and resistance in prison. Despite
his fragile condition and the threat of infection with Covid-19 in
prison, the German authorities continue to keep him incarcerated.
At the present situation
of devastating effects of the spread of the Coronavirus, we must rise
to extend our collective solidarity and bring maximum pressure for
the release of the comrade from prison.
We request all comrades
to join and bring resources together to help advance the campaign for
freedom of Müslüm Elma. The campaign is launched by UPOTUDAK,
(Solidarity Committee with International Political Prisoners). The
English, German, Spanish and Turkish versions of the call can be
found here: https://www.upotudak.net/
In solidarity
