Especially in Kurdish cities, the police repressed mass mobilizations brutally. However, the police was not alone in its brutality.<br \/>\nThe Turkish Hizbullah, which serves as a counter-guerilla and is called by the Turkish left Hizbulkontra, attacked the masses with guns and swords. The scene was not limited to Kurdish towns. In Gaziantep there was a massacre too. And in the big cities as Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir, the police, fascist and religious gangs &#8211; what we call Islamo-fascists &#8211; attacked mass demonstrations.<br \/>\nFrom the beginning, the RED Movement was a part of the demonstrations in big cities calling the Turkish workers for solidarity with Koban\u00ea and to fight the government and the fascists\/Islamo-fascists.<br \/>\nA chronology of demonstrations and massacres can be summarized as:<br \/>\n6 October 2014:<br \/>\nThe People\u2019s Democratic Party (HDP \u2013 Legal party of the Kurdish movement founded by some left groups) made a statement after the ordinary meeting of its Central Committee: \u201cWe call all of our peoples, all the world, to reveal themselves and to take action in the streets against the massacre attempt occurred in Koban\u00ea. All international institutions, all democratic mass organizations, labor, professional, women\u2019s or youth organizations and democratic forces have to take action against the savageness experienced in Koban\u00ea. From now on, everywhere is Koban\u00ea. We call to permanent resistance until the end of this brutal offensive.\u201d<br \/>\nAfter that call, from that night many demonstrations took place: all of them were brutally attacked by the police. Dozens of people have been killed or brutally wounded by the police and also by fascist groups.<br \/>\nHere is a list of people murdered during protests:<br \/>\n7 October 2014:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As a result of fire opened by pro-government village guards in Kurtalan (a town in Siirt) Mehdi Erdo\u011fan (35) and Yusuf \u00c7elik (17) lost their lives. 11 people are wounded.<\/li>\n<li>In Varto (a town in Mu\u015f) Hakan Buksur (25) lost his life as a result of fire opened by police. 3 people are wounded.<\/li>\n<li>In Diyarbak\u0131r, as a result of fire opened by police and Hezbollah supporters, S\u00fcleyman Kale (19), Yusuf Tokar, Mahsun \u00c7oban, U\u011fur \u00d6zbay (19), Baver \u015eeyhanl\u0131o\u011fullar\u0131 (18) lost their lives. Also Mahmud Enez (55), Turan Yava\u015f and Riyad G\u00fcne\u015f (who were members of H\u00dcDA-PAR \u2013 Legal party of Turkish Hezbollah acting as counter-guerilla) died. 10 peoples are wounded.<\/li>\n<li>In Batman, Emrah Demir (23) is killed in front of the provincial office of H\u00dcDA-PAR (party of Hezbollah supporters.)<\/li>\n<li>In K\u0131z\u0131ltepe (a district of Mardin), Kerem Karaaslan (22) lost his life by fire opened from a car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the 6 provinces (Diyarbak\u0131r, Batman, Mardin, Van, Siirt and Mu\u015f) where these events happened curfews were declared. But no one cared.<br \/>\n8 October 2014:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In K\u0131z\u0131ltepe (Mardin), two people were found dead. One of them is a Saudi Arabia citizen (Fehad \u0130brahim Elduveric) and the other one is a Syria citizen (Abdullah Muhammed Latif).<\/li>\n<li>In Darge\u00e7it (Mardin), during protests Bilal Gezer, Sinan Toprak and Eshan Akdo\u011fan lost their lives.<\/li>\n<li>In Siirt, during clashes between police and youth a young man named D.N. (17) lost his life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>9 October 2014:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>During the funeral of Bilal Gezer and Sinan Toprak, the police attacked people and one person (Abdulkerim Seyhan) lost his life. 6 people are wounded.<\/li>\n<li>In Siirt, at a gas station as a result of fire opened Kamil Ta\u015f lost his life. 5 people are wounded.<\/li>\n<li>In Nusaybin (Mardin), Be\u015fir Ramazan Arif (8) was murdered by soldiers.<\/li>\n<li>After the burial of Yusuf \u00c7elik murdered by a village guard, his father Necmettin \u00c7elik (he was also wounded at the same day) lost his life.<\/li>\n<li>In Y\u00fcre\u011fir (a district of Adana) Ahmet Albay (69) was murdered by unidentified persons while he was sitting in front of his house. And his son also is wounded.<\/li>\n<li>Yunus Akta\u015f who was wounded by firearms during Van protests lost his life.<\/li>\n<li>In Bing\u00f6l, after the murder of two constables by unidentified persons, Ali Bozan (45), Ramazan \u00d6zmaskan (22), Emrah Ekinci (15) and \u015eahabettin Na\u015f (22) were murdered by the police, who alleged they had killed those constables.<\/li>\n<li>In Gaziantep, four people lost their lives during clashes: \u00d6mer U\u00e7aker (27), S\u00fcleyman Balc\u0131 (15), \u015eahin Da\u011fhan (24) and Sevgi Al\u0131c\u0131 (18).<\/li>\n<li>In Diyarbakir during clashes between dissident protesters Yasin B\u00f6r\u00fc (16) and Hasan G\u00f6kg\u00f6z (26) lost their lives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>10 October 2014:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In Diyarbak\u0131r Murat Da\u011f (24) lost his life during clashes between police and protesters. A member of H\u00dcDA-PAR who was wounded during attacks against people\u2019s protests on 7 October, Cumali G\u00fcne\u015f (30) died. Mesut Menek\u015fe (42) who was also wounded on the same day, lost his life.<\/li>\n<li>In Esenyurt (a district of \u0130stanbul) Mert De\u011firmenci (18) lost his life by police attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>12 October 2014:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Musa Bayram (26) who was wounded during protests in Gaziantep, lost his life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The situation is more serious than it seems in this list. 46 people died, 682 people are wounded, 1974 people are detained and 323 people are arrested. There was also terrible lynch attempts against protesters. One of the most striking of them happened on 8 October in Esenyurt (Istanbul): \u00a0Kabil Okyatan was stripped to the buff, battered and stabbed numbers of times by anti-Koban\u00ea protesters on the street. \u00a0In Gaziantep, Mersin, Van and Batman HDP\u2019s party buildings were set on fire. Their excuses were always the same: \u201cPro-Koban\u00ea protesters burned Atat\u00fcrk statues and Turkish flags\u201d, \u201cthey damaged public properties\u201d and so on. It is true but none of them can be an excuse to murder, lynch and wound people. On the other hand HDP\u2019s co-chair Selahattin Demirta\u015f, on 8 October, had declared that actions like burning statues and flags were nothing but a provocation to block support to Koban\u00ea and that he was against such actions. However, most of the anti-Koban\u00ea protesters, fascists and the government blamed him and his party.<br \/>\nOn 10 October co-chairs of HDP had made a joint statement to put an end to these protests: \u201cEvents happened because the ISIS siege have reached grave levels. The situation in Koban\u00ea is critical yet. (\u2026) \u00a0We consider it significant and necessary that the Kurdish people are coming onto the streets to take ownership of Koban\u00ea and raise public awareness. However, it is apparent that there are circles that have been lying in wait and are attempting to create serious internal conflict. (\u2026) In this chaotic environment we must form common sense policies that do not abandon Koban\u00ea, do not present an opportunity for provocations, maintain the process and protect people. (\u2026) People should not resort to violence against each other. \u00a0The attack on the Police chief in Bing\u00f6l and subsequent incidents and deaths are serious events, and there should be a full investigation, as such incidents have the potential to negatively influence events. (\u2026)\u201d<br \/>\nAfter this statement, pro-Koban\u00ea protests calmed down. On 11 October, \u0130stanbul Solidarity With Koban\u00ea (\u0130stanbul Koban\u00ea Dayan\u0131\u015fmas\u0131) appealed to protest government in Taksim (in which Gezi Park rebellion had broken out). RED Movement participated in this demonstration. We released a statement which said: \u201cIn Koban\u00ea for 26 days people, despite the siege and embargo, continue their epic resistance in the ranks of YPG\/YPJ. (\u2026) After the infiltration of ISIS gangs into the city center on 6th October in Suru\u00e7 (a district of \u015eanl\u0131urfa, Koban\u00ea\u2019s neighboring) and the forced evacuation of two villages by soldiers, clashes started to occur within the city. For this reason, protests took place in much of the country against the AKP\u2019s support to ISIS. (\u2026) It is necessary to cut the umbilical cord with ISIS, to open a humanitarian corridor for the self-defence of Koban\u00ea\u2019s people, to recognize the status of Rojava and to revoke the war resolution.\u201d<br \/>\n<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TURKEY Written by RED Movement Thursday, 16 October 2014 11:12 A great anger spread all over Turkey after the ISIS attack on Koban\u00ea, a canton of the Kurdish Rojava in Northern Syria.
