Happy end of ecotopian story !!!

Bericht van deelnemer aan Ecotopia Biketour (de jaarlijkse internationale fietstocht naar het Ecotopia-kamp):

dear people

dont worry about us, everyone are fine. in fact, some of BT [Bike Tour] and ecotopia people are leaving istanbul tonight..

you probably know that after symbolic protest and arresting on wednesday
there were another massive action and arresting again on saturday. 33 of
ecotopia and BT people were captured, and total of 50 or so ecotopiand
were keept under custody for until 2 AM inside one street in sinop. i have
never experienced anything similar..
but this couple of arrestings we experienced payed in incredible and
unexpected way. we turned turkey upside down overnite.
we are on tv, in all newspapers, including covers and full page interviews
with us.. primeminister and president responded to actions and we send
them replies via newspapers. :)))) we did what turkish people were not
allowed to do.. it is amazing.. we are heroes of the day..
i think this is the greatest impact of ecotopia ever, (...)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!!

i guess we send some links soon!

TOMORROW: 10.30 press conference at place or greenpeace in istanbul
downtown (istikal caddesi, kallavi sokak nr.1)
