Berlin, 9. September um 19 Uhr , Info- & Stadtteilladen Lunte, Weisestr. 53
The book “Resistance and Victory in the Secret Torture Centers of Fascism” by Ayten Öztürk was first published in August 2022. At that time, Ayten was under house arrest in Istanbul, after being imprisoned for 3.5 years following her time in a secret torture prison in 2018. On February 6, 2024, she was re-arrested in a large-scale raid against the left-wing movement in Istanbul. Today, she is imprisoned in Kandıra Prison (Kocaeli, Turkey).
In her novel, Ayten impressively describes how she withstood 6 months of torture, the internal and external struggles she faced, and the methods of her revolutionary consciousness that allowed her to survive.
A German-language version is now available and it will be presented. An activist from the “Solidarity Committee for Ayten Öztürk” is invited, the short film “Ayten’s Revolution” by Eliana Riva (documentary, 33 minutes, Italian with English subtitles) will be screened.
