Dear Comrades,

The June Days of the massive mass mobilization in Turkey continue.
Last Saturday (22.06) hundred thousands gathered in Taksim Square for
commemorating martyred comrades of the resistance, However while
people were leaving the Square peacefully at 8 pm, police once again
attacked over crowds and until morning, people clashed against police.
On Sunday, hundred thousands met in Kadıköy to commemorate the 20th
year of the Sivas Massacre in which Islamist fascist groups surrounded
a hotel in Sivas city and killed 40 progressive intellectuals and
artists by burning them who had been there for a festival.

In Ankara as well, ten thousands gathered to protest government and
police attacked over people. In Izmir, Eskişehir, Bursa and many other
cities and towns people insist on their rights and liberties.

Taksim Solidarity, a coalition compose of over 120 mass organizations
including DISK, declared that struggle will continue until the
fundamental demands are achieved. On Saturdays, people will gather in
main squares of cities and everyday at 9 pm, there will be mass
meetings in public parks in each district where people discuss and
share their ideas as a democratic platform of the direct democracy.

>From the other hand, PM Erdogan organizes counter mass meetings
against the mass mobilization, aiming to consolidate its support and
polarize the society. He repeatedly lies and insults to protestors by
exploiting religious and national feelings of the society by claiming
that protestors were drinking alcohol in mosques and attacking women
wearing headscurfs which are proved to be wrong. Additionally,
government started a"witch hunt" and arrested over 100 people.

It is estimated by Taksim Solidarity that almost 10 million people
participated to the protests. Yesterday Ministry of Interior stated
that in 79 cities (there are 81 cities in Turkey), 2.5 million people
joined demonstrations. However it is clear that in Istanbul over 2
million gathered in Taksim Square. However if it was even 2.5 million,
this also demonstrates the fact that this is the biggest challange to
the authoritarian-one man rule of the AKP Government.

The June Days of the mobilization of the society in Turkey also
provided inspiration to the art and many artictic groups showed their
creativity to support democratic and peaceful uprising of people.
Below you may find some of the most known musical products of the June
Days.

In solidarity
