On Tuesday 10.11.2005, a group of anarchists and antimilitarists from Mostar and Sarajevo held a demonstration in front of the Turkish embassy in Sarajevo in solidarity with Mehmet Tarhan. Mehmet was arrested, harassed, and sentenced to four years for refusing military service.
As a consequence of the torture inflicted upon him by the army prison administration, Mehmet started a hunger strike on 9.30.
In front of Turkish embassy, approximately 15 protestors were carrying banners with messages of support for Mehmet, while shouting "Army kills, freedom for Tarhan" and "Enough with violence." They also handed out flyers with description of Mehtem's case.
Same as during previous actions, there were more police then protestors. Embassy staff refused to take the protest letter because it was against their protocol.
We continue to demand freedom for Mehmet Tarhan and all comrades around the world and we ask all of you to put pressure on the Turkish embassies, consulates, or representatives in the countries where you live.
Imagining ourselves in Takhan's place should be enough to make us understand the importance of support from our comrades.
We are all prisoners- the state is our prison!
