Cartoonists’ tribute to detained Turk
Thursday 24th November 2016
BRITISH cartoonists led by Martin Rowson gave a standing ovation in solidarity with detained Turkish cartoonist Musa Kart, who faces jail for sedition.
The tribute was paid on Tuesday night at the annual Cartoon Art Trust awards held at the Mall Galleries in central London.
British Cartoonists’ Association chairman Mr Rowson reminded the 160 people attending the awards dinner that at the end of a turbulent year for both Britain and the world, it was “more important than ever to fight for the freedom to laugh in order to stop us all going mad in the face of events.”
Mr Kart was among journalists from the opposition newspaper Cumhuriyet rounded up by the Turkish authorities last month accused of crimes in support of forces behind the July coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
After paying tribute to the cartoonists murdered in the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine, Mr Rowson told the audience of cartoonists, politicians, journalists and cartoon fans about the plight of Mr Kart, who faces up to 43 years in prison.
He then invited everyone to stand and applaud Mr Kart as an act of solidarity and support for “the twin freedoms of speech and laughter” — which the whole room did for several minutes.

Turkish miners die in landslide
At least five miners at the Madenkoy opencast copper mine in southeastern Turkey died and 11 are missing following a landslide at the mine at the end of last week. The mine is owned by Park Elektrick. A similar landslide at the mine in Jul did not lead to any fatalities, but miners expressed concern at the lack of safety measures.
Thousands more Turkish workers lose jobs in post-coup crackdown
Tuesday of this week, the Turkish government sacked around 15,000 civil servants and closed down nearly 400 organisations, including nine news media outlets. This is in addition to the 100,000 public sector staff, including teachers, police and military, who have been dismissed in the aftermath of the failed July coup. The organisations targeted in the latest batch included charities and research bodies.

Demirtaş kept with Al-Qaeda convicts and ordinary prisoners
HDP Co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş and HDP MP Abdullah Zeydan are kept in the Edirne Type F Closed Prison in a cell on the C Block where the Al-Qaeda convicts and problematic non-political prisoners are.
Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş was detained in a house raid in his home in Amed and sent to Edirne Type F Closed Prison on November 4. HDP Hakkari MP Abdullah Zeydan was arrested on the same day, and they have both been kept alone in separate cells for 11 days. An important piece of information has surfaced on the situation of Demirtaş and Zeydan.
FREQUENTLY DISTURBED
It has come to light that Zeydan and Demirtaş are not kept in the A and B blocks where the political prisoners from HDP are, but in C Block, where the Al-Qaeda convicts and problematic ordinary prisoners are. Reports say Al-Qaeda prisoners to the right of Demirtaş’s cell frequently chant takbeer and violent prisoners to his left chant racist slogans.
PRISON ADMINISTRATION WAITING FOR THE MINISTRY
Demirtaş and Zeydan are forced to pass by mentioned prisoners’ cells as they are taken from their cells for lawyer’s visits or visitations. Demirtaş and Zeydan appealed to the prison administration to stay with the political prisoners as they face a threat in such circumstances, but the prison administration only said they were “waiting for a reply from the Ministry of Justice, and an arrangement will be made according to the outcome”.
AKP MP HAD ISSUED THREATS
The current situation brings AKP İzmir MP Hüseyin Kocabıyık’s tweet sent the other day to mind: Kocabıyık had issued such threats as: “In case of an assassination against the statesmen, the people will storm the prisons and hang all PKK and FETÖ members, this is what the people talk about.”
