Teil 4 und Jour Fixe mit Anarchos aus der Agglo

Freitag, 25. November 2016, 19:30 Uhr | Infoladen Kasama, Militärstrasse 87a, Zürich

 

Buchvorstellung und Diskussion mit dem Autor Lou Marin
Rirette Maîtrejean. Attentatskritikerin, Anarchafeministin, Individualanarchistin

Rirette Maîtrejean (1887-1968), Anarchafeministin und Individualanarchistin im französischen Milieu libre vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, wandte sich in ihren Souvenirs d’anarchie (1913) entschieden gegen anarchistische Attentate und Raubüberfälle, von denen besonders die «Affäre Bonnot» bis heute erinnert wird.
Die daraus entstandenen konfliktgeladenen Diskussionen führten zur Schwächung der anarchistischen Massenbewegung beim Kriegseintritt Frankreichs 1914. Die staatliche Repressionswelle traf nicht nur das vielfach von Anarchafeministinnen geprägte lebensreformerische und individualanarchistische Milieu, sondern zwang auch alle anderen anarchistischen Strömungen (u.a. Syndikalismus, kommunistischer Anarchismus) dazu, Stellung zu beziehen.
Rirette Maîtrejean argumentierte in den Zwanziger- und Dreißigerjahren gegen ihren ehemaligen Lebenspartner und Gesinnungsgenossen Victor Serge, als dieser als Konsequenz aus dem gescheiterten «Illegalismus» den Staatsterror der jungen Sowjetunion befürwortete. Während und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg begegnete sie Albert Camus, der ihre Erfahrungen in seiner Kritik des Nihilismus ausformulierte.
Diese Biographie mit einer Auswahl übersetzter Artikel bietet die Möglichkeit, sich mit Leben und Werk der bisher im deutschsprachigen Raum unbekannten Rirette Maîtrejean auseinanderzusetzen.

Şişli’de halk gözaltıyı engelledi, diktatörün polisleri silah çekti

HDP statement on yesterday’s ISIS attack in Amed

The Governor of Diyarbakır blamed the PKK soon after yesterday’s attack on a police target in Amed, saying that the organization claimed responsibility for the bombing, which didn’t happen. Later in the evening, ISIS claimed the attack.

HDP has released a statement regarding yesterday’s bombing which targeted a police station in Amed’s central Bağlar district.

The Governor of Diyarbakır blamed the PKK soon after the attack, saying that the organization claimed responsibility for the bombing, which didn’t happen. Later in the evening, ISIS claimed the attack. Even today, Turkish media continued to blame the PKK for the deadly bombing.

Here is the statement by Peoples’ Democratic Party, the deputies of which were at the targeted police station when the attack was carried out.

“The location that was attacked by ISIS at around 8:00 am yesterday morning was a police school, which has been used for more than ten years as an additional service building by the Diyarbakır General Directorate of Police. It is located in the center of Bağlar province and consists of a a complex of several units that houses also the riot police directorate.

Our Co-Chairs Figen Yüksekdağ and Selahattin Demirtaş as well as our deputies Gülser Yıldırım, Nursel Aydoğan, Sırrı Süreyya Önder and Ziya Pir, who were taken from their homes in Diyarbakır in custody, were kept in this building complex before being taken to court.

This complex contains also a gym, which was used as facility during the detention of our various HDP and BDP co-presidents and party members of Diyarbakir province and its counties. As will be remembered, Demirtaş had held a press conference on October 19th, 2016 in our Diyarbakır offices with regard to these detentions. In yesterday`s attack, the DBP (Democratic Regions Party) co-president of the county Cüngüş, Recai Altay, who was also held custody in this building, lost his life.

About two hours before yesterday`s attack at 08:00 am in the morning, our Co-Chairman Selahattin Demirtaş and our Diyarbakir deputy Ziya Pir had been  held here before they were taken to court.

At the time of the bombing, our Co-Chairwoman Figen Yüksekdağ and our Ankara deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder were still being held in that very building complex.

As it has been reported in press, a minibus containing the bomb had a collision with a commercial taxi on the road. Because the minibus did not stop and continued on the road after the accident, the taxi chased him and cut him off. When the taxi driver descended from his vehicle, he saw that there was a bomb in the minibus. According to witness accounts, he shouted “There is a bomb” just when the explosion happened. Thus, the minibus loaded with the bomb exploded before it could reach its actual destination. If the commercial taxi and the minibus had not collided, the minibus with the bomb would have reached its target.

Despite knowing  all of these facts, the Diyarbakır Governor’s Office has been misleading the public with fraudulent information. In addition, a number of ‘media’ organs continue to target our party and our co-chairs who were arrested along with our deputies in conjunction with this attack carried out by ISIS.

We resolutely demand the full disclosure of all facts about this bomb attack which was clearly planned to be more destructive, yet failed its target.”

Soeben wurde Selahattin Demirtaş mit einem Militärhubschrauber in ein 1700km entferntes Gefängnis in Edirne

Soeben wurde Selahattin Demirtaş mit einem Militärhubschrauber in ein 1700km entferntes Gefängnis in Edirne im europäischen Teil der Türkei gebracht. Es gehört zur Praxis einer jeden antidemokratischen Diktatur ihre Gefangenen möglichst weit von ihrem Umfeld und ihrer Familie entfernt einzusperren. Es macht den Kontakt so gut wie unmöglich und sehr teuer.
Was sollen jetzt seine Anwälte, die in Ankara sitzen, tun?
Was sollen seine Frau und seine beiden kleinen Kinder jetzt tun?

Wir müssen übrigens gar nicht so weit gehen. Das post-franquistische Spanien, keine Diktatur mehr,aber auch nicht sehr demokratisch, geht mit seinen politischen Gefangenen der baskischen Unabhängigkeitsbewegung, von denen es nach wie vor ca. 400 gibt, genauso um.

Social media blocked in Turkey following the operation on HDP

Figen Yüksekdağ, Co-chair of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), which is the only party implementing the co-chair system in Turkey with an equal representation of women, has sent a message to women after her arrest.

 

HDP Co-chair Figen Yüksekdağ was formally arrested in Amed after she was detained during a raid on her house in Ankara last nigh

“I refuse to be a walk-on extra in the judiciary show launched because Erdoğan with all his dubious political past ordered so. I will not answer any questions you ask, and I have no faith that any act of judgment will be just. I have no demands and no expectations from you. Only my people who elected me can judge me for my political activities”, she said in her statement at court earlier today.

Yüksekdağ, Co-chair of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), which is the only party implementing the co-chair system in Turkey with an equal representation of women, has sent a message to women after her arrest.

Yüksekdağ sent her greetings to all women and called upon them to continue to be joyous and resilient. She is now being taken from Amed to be transferred to a prison which is not disclosed yet.

DBP Co-chair Tuncel: Nobody should be demoralised. We will resist and definitively win. Fascist mindsets are doomed to lose.

Lawyers from DBP (Democratic Regions’ Party) Law Commission have met DBP Co-chair Sebahat Tuncel who remains in custody since her detention in front of Diyarbakır Courthouse earlier today.

Tuncel sent the following message through the DBP lawyers Şivan Cemil Özen and Cemile Turhallı:

“Every person is a representative itself. Everyone has to do their part. Nobody should be demoralised. We will resist and definitively win. Fascist mindsets are doomed to lose. The arrest of HDP deputies who include Co-chairs is purely an operation of taking hostage. We will never bow down.”

HDP Şırnak MP Ferhat Encü has also been arrested.

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Şırnak MP Ferhat Encü was detained in Istanbul last night and taken to Şırnak.

Encü’s interrogation at the prosecutor’s office lasted 3 hours, after which he was referred to court that ordered his arrest Friday evening.

Encü was accused of “alienating the public from military service, terrorist propaganda, incitement to animosity, entering military prohibited zones, attempted murder of a public official for their duty”.

 

HDP Hakkari MP Selma Irmak was last night taken into custody as a result of a raid on her house in Amed after an instruction by Hakkari Public Prosecutor. Irmak was taken to Hakkari Courthouse together with HDP Hakkari MP Abdullah Zeydan earlier today.

After giving their statements, both deputies were referred to court with a demand for their arrest.

Irmak has been formally arrested Friday evening.

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-chairs Selahattin Demirtaş and Figen Yüksekdağ were detained as part of last night’s operation against the party executives in several cities in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan.

While Demirtaş was detained in Amed, Yüksekdağ was detained in Ankara and then brought to Amed. Both Co-chairs have been taken to Diyarbakır Courthouse where they made a joint statement alongside other detained MPs of the party earlier today.

Referred to court with a demand for their arrest, both Co-chairs have been remanded in custody Friday afternoon.

HDP Mardin MP Gülser Yıldırım who was detained within the scope of the operation against the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) last night, has been arrested by a court she was referred to earlier today.
