FIRST PRISONER DIES IN HUNGER STRIKE TILL DEATH 

Amsterdam,  July 21, 1996

In the morning of July 21, 1996, the first prisoner on hunger strike till death
died. Ayguen Ugur, who belonged to the TKP(ML)  - Turkish Communist Party
(Marxist-Leninist) - , who couldn't drink anymore since July 12, is the first
who fell of the 217 political prisoners who are on hunger strike till death in
the prisons in Turkey and Kurdistan. He participated in the hunger strike till
death in the prison of Umraniye (Istanbul). Five days ago he lost consciousness.
It is expected that more prisoners will die today or in the very near future.
The Turkish government still refuses to negotiate with the prisoners.
