Encore, une nouvelle chasse à courre.
Les souverains attaquent encore une fois au droit de plaider.
Cette fois les tirs cadrés sont nos avocats révolutionnaires, les membres de ÇHD, L’Association des Avocats Progressistes.
Contre cette attaque, il est obligatoire de déclarer nettement qu’ils sont nos camarades.
Parce que Selçuk Kozağaçlı, Taylan Tanay et tous les autres avocats révolutionnaires luttent pour la justice et l’égalité des ‘jours du pain et des roses’.
Nous les connaissons de leur audace de défendre Festus Okey, Engin Çeber et les autres qui son assassinés par la police. Nous les connaissons de leur épreuve de dévoiler les tortures et tueries dans les prisons, les tueurs à gages des meurtres non-résolus, les fosses communes et les assassinats faits par les forces armées. Nous les connaissons de leur poursuite des procès des femicides, des paysans deplacés par des centrales hydroélectriques, des pauvres urbaines forcés de quitter leur bidonvilles à cause des projets de « gentrification », des travailleurs, des étudiants et des Kurdes arrêtés avec leurs avocats. Nous les connaissons de leur effort de renseigner les dissidents sur les raids policiers et de divulguer ‘l’inutilité des gardes des sceaux et des juges et le décret de police’ avec des preuves.
Ils sont les avocats de tous les opprimés et les exploités.
Ils sont les défenseurs du peuple comme le président de ÇHD Selçuk Kozağaçlı a déclaré a Beirut le 19 Janvier :
“Nous n’acceptons pas des accuses d’espionnage de gens qui ne peuvent pas voler les avions si les Etats-Unis ne donnent pas le code, ne peuvent pas passer devant les bases d’OTAN dans leur propre pays, ne peuvent pas aller au toilette sans la permission des Etats-Unis ; ni des gens qui devaient leur formation, intelligence, argent et insignes a l’impérialisme. Les gens qui envoient leurs enfants aux Etats-Unis pour leur formation en parlent du manque de liberté en Turquie ne peuvent pas nous parler des actes en faveurs des pays étrangers. Nous ne serons pas édifiés avec une batte de base-ball. Reconnaissez votre rang!
Nous sommes les héritiers d’une tradition juridique qu’il y a quarante ans s’occupe avec vos cours, vos enquêtes, vos gardes des sceaux, vos procès et votre police. Nous avons toujours reconnu vos pièges et les avons exposés. N’inventez pas!
Nous ne cherissons pas une illusion d’un état de loi.
Faites-vous votre meilleur!
On verra bien ce qui va s’embarrasser finalement.
C’est nous qui avons raison et c’est nous qui gagnerons!
Hier, ils c’était eux qui nous défendaient, c’est notre tour maintenant de les défendre aujourd’hui.
Nous déclarons à tous nos amis ainsi qu’à nos ennemies que nous tiendrons cette promesse dans sa totalité.
Once again we are faced with a new battue.
Those in power are once again attacking our right to defence.
Their target, once again, is the Associaton of Progressist Lawyers (CHD), and its daredevil members.
We must solemnly declare, in face of this attack, that they are our comrades.
For all those revolutionary lawyers who were arrested, from Selçuk Kozağaçlı to Taylan Tanay, are struggling fort he sake of equality and justice of the “Days of Bread and Rose”…
We are witnesses to the corageous struggles they have been leading in defence of Festus Okey and Engin Ceber, both killed by brutal police violence… We are witnesses to their struggle to reveal the police-military hoods; to their persistent pursuit of the cases of revolutionaries fallen under torture; their unearthing of the bodies killed by the military secret police, JITEM; their unflagging efforts to defend the cases of endless femicides, of peasants fighting for their land rights against the hydroelectric dams, of urban poor whose neighborhoods are threatened by gentrification projects, of striking workers, of boycotting students, of Kurds arrested massively along with their lawyers… We are witnesses to their preventive educational program “Usual Suspects” which aims to inform and warn ordinary citizens as well as civil rights activists; their demonstration of how judges and prosecutors have become useless in a penal system in which every case is instigated and disposed of by the security forces.
They are our defenders, our lawyers…
Selçuk Kozağaçlı, the president of CHD, who was in Beirut when the raid on his association was realized and eight of his colleagues were arrested, has made this statement:
“Are we to learn from you, who cannot even go to the toilet without the permission of US, who cannot fly a plane unless the US provides the code, who cannot enter the NATO bases operating within the country, who are indebted to imperialism their rank, education, reason, wealth and badge… are we to learn from you who the agents are? Is the police of those who educate their children abroad on the pretext that there is no freedom in this country, to teach us what it means to work for another country? Do you think that we will be tamed by a baseball bat just like you were? Behave yourselves!
We are heirs to a judicial tradition which has been fighting against your courts, your prosecutors, your police, your investigations since forty years. We have long seen, solved and exposed every trick of yours which seem to you dexterous.
We have no illusion as to thinking we are living in a state governed by law…
Do whatever you can, and we’ll see who will be ashamed in the end.
Once again we are right, and we shall win!”
Yes, they are the lawyers to people’s just cause!
They have been defending us selflessly until today.
Now it is our turn to defend them.
And we solemnly declare that we’ll do it by all our means!
