If there was any doubt about the political nature - and consequently the total emptiness of the accusation - of the so called KCK trial, the decision today to postponed the trial to the 6 of December says it all.

The court decided to suspend the hearings for an amazing 103 days. The 152 Kurdish politicians and activists under trial have been denouncing all along the unfairness of this action and the spurious allegations against the accused.

In his writing lawyer and president of the Human Rights Association in Diyarbakir, Muharrem Erbey, underlines that when he went before the public prosecutor and judge responsible for his case, he admitted to all of the activities (with the exception of being a KCK member) the prosecutor indicated as amounting to "propaganda for the PKK" (these includes speeches about human rights at the UN and several European Parliaments and sites). Not only that, Erbey said that he stands behind them and has no regrets, and stated that he will do them all again when he will be out of prison. Because this is the bottom line: the Kurdish politicians and activists are in prison for doing their job. Mayors for being mayors and looking after their citizens, human rights activists for exposing human rights violations.

To postpone the trial to the 6 of December is yet another blow to any fragile hope peace still has in Turkey.
