Proclamation to the members of the Campaign for the Freedom of Turgut Kaya

According to new information, which we have received today; the transportation of the historian, journalist and revolutionary-communist Turgut Kaya, from Athens to the prison in Komotini on June 3rd, was hampered by the rising international democratic public support.

With the influence of the rising international political public opinion over the Greek government, the inhumane transportation was repealed with a decision from the Ministry of Justice. Turgut Kaya was transported back to the Korydallos Prison in Athens. Kaya`s lawyer, who has been giving these news, informed us that his health condition is relatively good.

Turgut Kaya is grateful to the determined struggle of all activists of the campaign and all supporters, and wishes the continuation of our insistence on the united democratic struggle.

This, of course, is a positive development that proves the legitimacy of our struggle and grasps our determination. This partial achievement is based, in particular, on the autonomy of our campaign activists and is a collective achievement gained by the contribution of all our friends within the united struggle.

However, everyone should also know; Until Turgut Kaya will be released and we will fulfil another successful campaign, our struggle will continue on.
With this, we congratulate the executives and supporters of the Campaign for the Freedom of Turgut Kaya with love and joy, for their partial, but very important achievements.
