(en) Britain, North-East Anarchist Nee-Nar! #4 - Anarchy In Action

As we noted in the last edition, we?ve been chuffed to see how readily anarchist ideas 
and tactics have been adopted in the upheavals currently tearing through the Middle-East. 
To illustrate this, we reprint here a statement from the uprising in Istanbul in Turkey. 
We think it neatly sums up how anarchist ideals spring up wherever people choose to get up 
off their knees and fight back. ---- Principles of the Besiktas General Assembly, 
Istanbul: ---- 1. We refuse all discrimination and humiliation among humans and other 
living beings. ---- 2. We are a peaceful community. We will not provoke violence, but we 
reserve the right to legitimate self defense. ---- 3. There is no other thing than freedom 
that inspires us. We have no other interest beside social justice. We are guided only by 
what we hold to be true. There is no organization that represents us.

4. In our movement there will be no leaders, no hierarchy and no titles.

5. Everyone who participates in our working groups will be personally account able 
towards the community.

6. We stand together with everyone who resists, anywhere in the world. Our biggest aim 
is to raise solidarity by uniting around commons aims, and to continue our struggle.
