Thirty years ago today Deniz, Yusuf and Huseyin were born. On
that day they were executed by our 1971 junta. Deniz, Yusuf and
Huseyin were the first legally executed socialists in the history
of Republic of Turkey. When they were hung Deniz Gezmis and Yusuf
Aslan were 25, Huseyin Inan was 23. Their only guilt was their
love of their country and its peoples. They went to death
bravely, in that order, kicking their own stands before it was
pulled by the executioner. Today is their birthday.
