by the INITIATIVE FOR AN INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM AGAINST ISOLATION.
We invite all organisations and individuals, who oppose solitary confinements and want to find a solution, to participate in a symposium that will be held from 19-21 December in Noordwijk (Holland). This meeting is being organised by the INITIATIVE FOR AN INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM AGAINST ISOLATION.
Among others former political prisoners from Turkey, Ireland, Spain, the Basque Country, Germany and Italy, as well as relatives and lawyers, are invited to this meeting.
The aim of the symposium is to deal with the urgent and necessary problem of solitary confinements from a political, juridical and medical aspect and to find a collective solution.
The date was selected consciously because it is the second anniversary of one of the biggest massacres in the history of the prisons.
28 political prisoners in Turkey were killed during the attack from 19-22 December 2000, hundreds of prisoners were severely injured and transferred to the new established F-Type prisons.
This was to be the “last big operation” before the negotiations on Turkey joining the EU. Because the most serious hindrance for the Turkish government are the revolutionary prisoners.

FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS!

All costs for lodgings and food will be met by the Initiative who is organising this symposium. The symposium will end with a cultural event on December 21, 2002.
