Some thoughts from the death fasters as Alex and Terry left:

Resit: "This situation - the Death Fast - places great responsibilities on us against the imperialists... Within the anti-imperialist movement the most important thing is the co-operation of like groups... We can easily stand in the same arena and we must gather our forces against the imperialist movements... While meeting the people face to face, and, if we open all the ways of gathering alliances I think it easy to move all together... Free the world or death".

Arzu: "This attack is not just an attack for the Turkish people, it is for all the peoples of the world... We know of your struggle and support the Irish struggle... We greet you from the depths of our heart".
