Turkey, Ankara: 23 got arrested in solidarity demo with cons. objector

A-Infos.ca Jan. 7, 2010

On 6th of January 2010 in Ankara, cops violently attacked activists* from
Solidarity Initiative with Conscientious Objector Enver Aydemir arresting
23 people. The activists were demanding release of the conscientious
objector Aydemir who had faced torture in military jail.

They used their right to remain silent in the police station. 22 of them
were released after spending over 24 hours in jail following their
questioning by the public prosecutor. However, one of them (Volkan S.) was
detained and will stay in jail waiting for the first trial. (Lawyers will
appeal for his release tomorrow.)

* [Most of them anarchists, also some socialists, feminists &
anti-militarists.]
