We'll send our kids out to write the same thing on the walls as an act of solidarity with them. Halil, give your kids a spraycan and send them off, finally a bi-communal activity we can take part in which doesn't include candles and singing!

I can't take the singing and the candles anymore!!! No more Kumbaya!!!

Guilt does not rest with those who threw these patriotic, honourable people into jail. Guilt rests with those of us who make do with simply reading about or following this event.

Yesterda's Afrika newspaper carried an interesting piece about this case (my translation):

http://www.afrikagazetesi.net/modules.p ... &artid=988

The other evening four of our youths were detained by the police. For writing “Occupying Turkish army sod off” on walls. Aziz Şah... Çetin Edip... Özce Nizam... Kan Yektaoğlu. They were taken to court and an order to hold them in custody for three days was obtained. They are still in the cells at Nicosia police station. They will appear once more before the court tomorrow. The police sent them to the Military Court to be sentenced, but the military prosecutor, stating that there was insufficient evidence to try them at this court, passed the case to the civil court. Police deputy inspector Oral Ordu, giving sworn evidence to the court, said that the youths had written comments “targeting the Security Forces Command” on a number of buildings in Nicosia in August-September. However, the graffiti allegedly written on the walls has nothing whatsoever to do with the SFC. That is, they do not target the SFC. The SFC is the Turkish Cypriots’ army. Not Turkey’s. The army defined as the “occupying army” is the Turkish Republic’s 40 thousand strong army on the island. The Peace Forces! Where did the police inspector get the idea that the SFC was targeted?
*
The detained youths’ homes were also raided by the police. Moreover, without informing their families. When the families were not at home. They went through everything. They confiscated the computers in these homes. These days we have also witnessed the homes of two trade union leaders being raided and searched … Erol Şeherlioğlu... and Tevfik Yoldaş. Where is all of this taking us?
*
It came as a surprise for the youths to be held in custody for three days. There is but one offence with which they may be charged in connection with this event … dirtying the environment! If it goes beyond this, the matter will assume political dimensions. Then the case will take on different proportions. The Turkish army on the island is described in the international arena as an “occupying army”. If it is not an offence under international law to accuse this army of being an occupier, it cannot be considered an offence here.
*
It is clear that those detaining these youths are determined to establish if any organization is behind this act. They are investigating this. They are incapable of working out that one day in this country everyone’s patience will be exhausted and that without the need for any organization acts of this kind will be performed. They have thrown the youths into the cells for three days in vain. Since when have those guilty of dirtying the environment received such treatment in our country? Release the youths. When there are so many criminals to detain in our country, is it not disgraceful to detain youths for writing graffiti on walls?
