"While the company did not lob the gas grenades which were used to kill six on the death fasters, they supplied them to the government who used them against their own citizens," IRSP International Department spokesperson Peadar Baile said. "The supporters of the IRSP in the U.S., the Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America, are calling for all those concerned to write Combined Systems to protest their sale of these gas grenades to the repressive Turkish regime."

 Mr. Baile provided the firm's mailing address as: Combined Systems Inc., 226 Newtown Road, Plainview, New York 11803. Their telephone number was given as: 516-777-7888.

 "These are the folks who killed Arzu," said IRSP's International Department Co-Secretary Terry Harkin, form London. "They killed her. Maybe they did not throw the bomb into the house, but they made it and exported it to a bunch of bastards who did so. They are culpable in my eyes. They do not have an office here, but our comrades in the U.S. are initiating a protest against the company, which I fully endorse."

 "We are asking all those who support the Turkish hunger strikers, all those who support human and civil rights, to write protesting Combined Systems' culpability in these deaths and asking for them to cease all further sales to the Turkish government, so long as they continue policies of repression and violence against their own citizens," Mr. Baile said. "Those who create these weapons and supply them to reactionary, despotic regimes must be called to account for their actions.

 "The murder of six death fasters was an act of inhumanity, and the IRSP reiterate our call upon the Irish government to recall their Ambassador to Turkey in protest."
