6 anarchists who are "claimed to be" from U~ak Anarchist Autonom have been arrested and will be judged in State Security Court-SSC (Devlet G|venlik Mahkemesi-DGM). SSC's are special courts which were established for revolutionary leftists and Kurdish militants; this is the first event in Turkish anarchist history that a group of "anarchists" are being sent to SSC. They are claimed to be members of an illegal organization and the reason of the arrests is JUST an anarchist leaflet they've distributed in a demonstration of trade-unions in 1st of December. For now they are in U~ak Prison but perhaps will be moved to Nazilli Prison and wait for their trial in Izmir SSC. The news appeared in one of the biggest papers of Turkish mainstream media (H|rriyet) but in Europe press. (So we could not justify the info for a few days) More detailed info will be sent as soon as we get..
