World : (en) Revolutionary Anarchist Action's Statement about the Soma miners who had been killed by state

Our sorrow is the seed of our rage ---- The fire that appeared in the coal mine in 
Manisa-Soma on 13th of May, became one of the biggest massacres in these lands. With the 
fire, hundreds of coal miners were poisoned by intensive carbon monoxide. The number of 
the workers who had been died, increased hours by hours. Minister of energy, minister of 
labour and prime misinter tried to hide the real number of the miners who had been died 
while declaring that ?it was a sad work accident?. The prime minister declared that ?These 
kind of accidents could happen anytime.? ---- While thousands of people were waiting near 
the mine and trying to get news for their relatives who were in the coal mine, the 
ambulances, funeral vehicles, cold storage vehicles showed the seriousness of the 
massacre. The number of the dead miners increased; 78, 151, 245, 282?

The number is still being increased. The ones, who are responsible for this massacre, are 
trying to legitimate the ?deads? by saying ?this is destiny?. There are protests whole 
around the geography. People are in the streets claiming that it is not destiny nor 
accident, it is a massacre

of state and companies.

On 14th May, police attacked the people who protest the creators of this massacre. State 
and its armed forces thought they can prevent this anger with plastic bullets, tear gasses 
or gas bombs. But the ones who are in the streets shout together: ?Murderer state.?

State officials and bosses of the energy companies are claiming that they are mourning. 
But they are the murderers who forced the people work hundreds of meters far from the 
surface for gaining money to live. They are the muderers who forced people to work in such 
condititions where dead is inevitable.

We hold the sorrow of the ones who were murdered in the mines by capitalists and state. We 
are in the street with the anger against these murderers. We are not mourning, this is 
rebel. Our sorrow is the seed of our anger!
