For the immediate release of Kadir Çınar !
International Labor Defense!
An Injury to One is an Injury to All!
For International Working Class Defense of All Class War Prisoners and Victims of Capitalist State Repression!
The CWG stands for the non-sectarian working class defense of class war prisoners and all the oppressed based upon the old Wobbly principle that “An Injury to One is an Injury to All!” We place no faith in the capitalist courts, government agencies or labor boards to achieve justice. We call for the united International Working Class in alliance with the oppressed to come to the defense of all victims of capitalist state repression with class struggle methods. This means not only union resolutions but mass labor mobilizations and political strikes.
Turkey: immediate release of Kadir Çınar ! (recapping the notices from Gruppe Klassenkampf and the Liga Communista de los Trabajadores of 5/3/18)
The day before May Day, the Islamist Erdoğan government made 84 arrests in several cities in Turkey.
The Trotskyist militants of Patronsuz Dünya inform us that Kadir Çınar is one of the victims, he was arrested at home in Bursa on the night of 29th April, 2018.
Kadir is a worker (a cook in Genç Gıda), a labour activist (he is a union representative in Dev Turizm İş, i.e. the Tourism Industry Union), a revolutionary and an internationalist.
He has been accused by the police of referring to Trotsky and of spreading his ideas in the social networks. On the 2nd of May, the court decided to have him detained. He is incommunicado.
Release Kadir Çınar, free all the political prisoners of the workers’ movement and of the Kurds’ movement! Stop the criminal prosecution! No fines, No Penalty for using Social media for socialist advocacy!
