"Mr President, more than 30 thousand police with special military units, water cannons and tear gas have set about beating and butchering workers in the streets around Taksim Square in Istanbul and the headquarters of the workers’ confederation DISK. As a result, there were more than 500 arrests and casualties among the demonstrators.
We express our solidarity with the working class and all of Turkey’s workers in general. We demand an end to persecution for political and trade-union activity. The working class has the inalienable right to strike and demonstrate on 1
May. On this day we remember the workers who fell in the class struggle, defending and building on their achievements, and eliminating all human exploitation.
We wish to condemn the unacceptable prohibition and brutal suppression at the hands of the Turkish Government. At the same time, we support the right of the trade unions and political parties to organise their May Day gathering in Istanbul’s historic Taksim Square where, on 1 May 1977, 34 workers were murdered."@en1
