Mujdat Yanat has become the 6th martyr of the hunger-strike on day 67. He is
the third person to die today.

The government refuses to compromise, all protests and demonstrations are
attacked by the police.

Today's crowds were suprisingly large. Last few days were difficult as so
many people were detained. Now, people who had "watched" the first few
deaths are moving.

Most of the prisoners have almost no chance of surviving as healthy human
beings if everything stops right this minute.

In Turkey, the slogan for those that have died for the revolution is;

They will live in our struggle!
