[ December 19, 2000 / 19 December 2000 / F-Type prisons / December 19 / f-type prisons / December 19 / 19 December / death fast / Death Fast / ]* On the 19th of December 2000, the fa scist dictatorship murdered 28 revolutionary prisoners and wounded dozens more in a simultaneous operation aimed to force prisoners into 20 F-type prisons. The massacre, with its brutality and unspeakable violence, also had the purpose of creating an atmosphere of fear and helplessness in the entire society. As a respond to this massacre, the revolutionary prisoners started a death fast. The death fast made the plans of the state entirely futile. The tradition of resistance and non-surrender continued into the F-type prisons. The renowned death fast was a great ideological achievement. 133 revolutionary prisoners fell in the massacre of the 19th of December 2000 and during the death fast following it.
