We have taken part in a collective work which is of great importance in memory of the people we have lost."
Another director Hüseyin Karabey remarked that the 19 December massacre and F Type prisons have subjected people to a great trauma which, he underlined, is still living in memories. "This society is not a nonpolitical one, it is just being subjected to unending efforts trying to make it a nonpolitical one. As we see, even a sparkle can be enough to awaken the spirit in people."

In other words, the matter of prisons still continues."
