Now Every Street Is Ahmet, Every Street Is Ali Ismail... Now It Is Time To Raise Struggle
Under the sun of June; the riots which have started in Taksim and  have spread everywhere; 
  have turned into the September riots in Ankara. The wind of the resistance which has 
been blowing for many days in ODT? and Tuzlu?ay?r, have been saluted from all around the 
region, near and far. The ones who shine in the sky, the ones who are waving the flags of 
rebellion, who have been carrying the passion of revolt and who turn winds to storm, 
welcomed September with resistance. Salute to all who resist!
The authority and his law enforcement officers has murdered six of our brothers. The pain 
in our hearts is so deep. But they have also been a source of life for our struggle. Now 
the squares, the streets are resonating with the name of Ahmet... Resisting with his name, 
Ahmet.
 
Ahmet Atakan was our second brother who was targetted by the police and murdered in 
Antakya. He was taking part in the actions, on every monday for memory of Abdullah C?mert 
and the resisters of Taksim Gezi Park. While he was walking to Armutlu, the police 
attacked and the clashes have started. Just behind the barricades while resisting to the 
police, he fell down suddenly, after being hit on the head by one of the many gas canisters.
 
The murderer police of the murderer state killed Ahmet. The state that had said ?he was 
beaten by his own friends? after the death of Ali ?smail, was now saying that ?Ahmet has 
fallen down from the roof by himself.? After the murder of our brother, the state wanted 
to justify himself, wanted to hide this murder. But he couldn?t manage. Just like we have 
gone out to the streets, after Ali ?smail, Ethem, Abdullah, Mehmet, Medeni; this time we 
have gone out for Ahmet as hundreds of thousands. Our brothers have been murdered and our 
rage have flooded to the streets.
 
Medeni Y?ld?r?m is one of the last victims of the murderer state?s new war period under 
the name of peace period which the state is trying to build using a new army station 
system, Castle-station. Medeni is the nephew of Adnan Y?ld?r?m who was assassinated by the 
state in 1994, which is a strong proof that the systematic genocide in the region is still 
continuing. Murderer soldier of the murderer state has stolen the life of our brother 
Medeni. Medeni was standing against the castle-stations on the 28th of june 2013; he was 
standing as U?ur?s rage, as Ceylan?s rage who have been murdered with machine guns and 
howitzers. Medeni was always on the front with his growing rage and in the growing 
resistance, he still is, with U?ur?s and Ceylan?s.
 
Ethem Sar?s?l?k was shot by a police officer, Ahmet ?ahbaz, on the 1st of june , in 
G?venpark in Ankara. Ethem was a revolutionary worker. While he was studying in an 
industrial high school, he quit on his second year.  He took part in the protests for free 
education while studying. Ethem?s life was always in the center of injustice and he was 
always fighting against it. Thus he resisted throughout his life and the day came and he 
lost his life resisting.
 
Abdullah C?mert has texted a message just 8 hours before his death, saying; ?In 3 days I 
have slept for only 5 hours. I got tear gassed countless times, rode out from death for 
three times. And do you know what the people say? ?Let it go, are you the one to save the 
country? Yes, even though we can not save her we are going to die while trying.  (I am so 
tired, I am standing on 7 energy drinks and 9 painkillers  in 3 days. My voice is husky 
but I am on the streets on 6 am again, only for revolution.)? Abdullah was talking about 
dying for a revolution in his text, and it became true and death has caught him while 
resisting.
 
Mehmet Ayval?ta?, on 2nd of June in Umraniye, has blocked the highway along with tens of 
thousands. May Day neighbourhood was resisting with Mehmet. During the intensive attack of 
the law enforcement forces, one taxi driving on the highway, drove toward Mehmet. He ran 
over Mehmet and ran away.  Mehmet was only 19, he was on the streets for the struggle of 
the oppressed ones against the oppressors. He was believing in a thought that no one can 
oppress the other, and he was a revolutionary resisting for this. His body was run over 
but his thought and the struggle of the oppressed has grown even more.
 
While the news for the ?need AB blood, for our friend in Osmangazi Medical faculty, who 
have been exposed to police violence.? have been spreading through the social media, Ali 
?smail was struggling for his life. On 3rd of june, he was beaten by the cooperation of 
fascist and police, had wounds on his body and head, going from one hospital to another 
and given a clean bill of health, went back home and later taken to hospital again with 
the cerebral bleeding symptoms and rushed into surgery immediately. Even though that Ali 
?smail was struggling for life, the state, its police, its fascist, its hospital and its 
doctor have made an effort to kill him in an organised way. Ali ?smail who believed 
resisting on the streets in order to win, went out from the surgery losing his life. He 
was the last victim of Taksim resistance.
 
They became milestones, became resistance, became life. The murderer state and bloody 
handed government should know that our struggle is going on and will continue. Ethems, 
Abullahs, Mehmets, Ali ?smails, Ahmets have become millions resisting and will resist!
Authority is killing our brothers, under these conditions revolt is inevitable.
