together in front of Sisli mosque, opening a banner with the words
        “POWER COMES FROM PRODUCTION – WE PRODUCE
        FOR  OURSELVES  –  RESISTING  KAZOVA  WORKERS’
        COUNCIL” and chanting the slogan “We don’t want charity, we
        want our rights, long live our Kazova resistance, we are workers,
        we are right, we will win”. They marched in front of the resistance

        factory in Bomonti that is occupied and were supported by work-
        ers in the vicinity who applauded and whistled. In front of the fac-
        tory they made the following statement:

            “We have been carrying on this resistance for eight months
        and it has gone beyond being a struggle merely for what is ours.
        We have acted together with the Revolutionary Workers’ Move-
        ment during this period and we moved the machines to our new
        place last week which has been sequestrated against what is owed

        to us. We are aware that this victory is model for the entire work-
        ing class. Our aim is to create a Production Cooperative which
        will produce for the people with our own labour and turn out
        good quality and inexpensive goods in the course of which nobody
        is exploited.”

            After slogans were chanted, it was announced that there
        would be a film festival in the factory on 1, 2 and 3 November
        and the action ended.

            Solidarity visits to the Kazova workers continue – they have
