Oct 30, 2002
A group of fascists reportedly came to a shipping firm in Maltepe, Istanbul and

poster there. The group knifed DEHAP member Yakup Oguz Timur and destroyed the
place. Then they fled on foot.
Again in Istanbul a group of MHP (a fascist party) activists attacked against a
DEHAP vehicle touring in the city. As a result driver Huseyin Isik was injured
and windshield of the car was broken. Isύk was taken under treatment in Kartal
State Hospital and one of the perpetrators was arrested.
DEHAP convoy was stopped
In Gevas, Van DEHAP activists were not given permission to go to Yemislik
Village by village guards. Guards closed the road by tree trunks, saying that
they had given orders by soldiers. DEHAP members could not learn the name of the
commander who had given the order.
And in Saray district of Van 3 people including DEHAP district accountant were
detained while they were waiting to welcome DEHAP convoy. Former HADEP district
chairman Mehmet Keskin, former district administrator Abdulkadir Ates and
district accountant Yusuf Bilici were detained by gendarme forces without any
apparent reason.
Cotton workers detained in Derik
In Derik district of Mardin 52 cotton workers were detained on the grounds that
they chanted slogans in favor of DEHAP. Following the DEHAP meeting there, a
number of people including the 52 cotton workers were detained. The workers were
then released.
"3 votes for DEHAP"
In Hakkari military officials reportedly warned village guards, saying that in
case that there were more than 3 votes for DEHAP in every village, their weapons
would be confiscated.
Akcali and Yeni Kopru (Oramar), Yesiltas and Daglica villages were warned by
military officials. The military officials reportedly said that they might force
people to vote openly. And village guards from Gecitli went to all villages to
warn villagers not to vote for DEHAP.
Village guards fired
On the other hand Beytussebap (Sirnak) residents and its Mayor Sukru Ozkan were
reportedly threatened by local administrator Adil Karatas who said "Do not
vote for DEHAP. In case that there is even a vote for DEHAP we will know what to
do". Beytussebap people has welcome DEHAP convoy going to Sirnak meeting.
Karatas has met with heads of village guards and leaders of tribes two times
within two days and fired 10 village guards from Elemin, Dirman and Aros
villages who had participated in the DEHAP convoy the other day.
