CRAP ARREST OF THE WEEK
             For handing out leaflets: Five people were nicked in
             Usak, Turkey, for handing out anarchist leaflets.
             They've all been charged with being members of an
             'illegal terrorist organization' and were badly
             beaten before being moved to a high security prison.
             For wanting to learn in their own language: 526
             Kurdish students were detained by the Turkish
             military after handing in a petition to be educated
             in their native Kurdish language. Recently over
             20,000 Kurdish students have petitioned their
             universities requesting that Kurdish be recognised
             as an optional subject, many are being threatened
             with expulsion unless they withdraw their demands.
