O Oppressive Government! As if Oppression is Now a Part of Your Nature...
(Translated)

In the frame of the campaign launched by Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey on September 18, 2014 CE, titled: "Say STOP to the Judicial Persecutions against Hizb ut Tahrir", we have opened signing centers in order to put an end to the oppression of the jurisdiction in several cities in Turkey. We have shown to the Muslim people in the masjids and mosques the oppression that is being enforced by the state on the Dawah campaign of the members of Hizb ut Tahrir, and we have gathered their signatures of support. In addition, we opened signing centers to support the campaign in city centers, squares, and streets, and the Muslim Turkish people have showed great interest in these events.

However, the Secular Turkish Republic continues its tyranny and oppression just like what has happened yesterday, as if oppression has become its religion and its nature. 18 men from our Muslim brothers from the members of Hizb ut Tahrir were arrested on November 9 in Kaji Oryn in Ankara, on November 16 in Yeni area in Ankara too, on 21 November in Malatiya, and finally on November 22 in Seerat and Bursa. Among those arrested in Bursa was a small child age 11 years, yes the oppression of the government has reached this child too, where a person who didn't even reach the age of 11 years was arrested with his father. The brothers supervising the signing campaign in Diyar Bakr and other cities and those who shouted in the face of the oppression of the government and rulers without fear, and shown this oppression to the people; underwent torture and harm by the police force, who exercised suppression against the brothers to force them to remove these centers.

However, with all thanks and praise to Allah (swt), the sons of the Muslim Turkish people and in all cities stood by the members of Hizb ut Tahrir, and didn't leave the gates of the police stations until they released the brothers who were arrested. With all thanks and praise to Allah (swt), the Muslim people have started to stand by the true Islamic Dawah campaign and all thanks and praise to Allah (swt) that the Muslims have started to take their place to stand by the oppressed. With all thanks and praise to Allah (swt), the Muslims have started to not retreat in calling for truth in front of the oppressors.

O oppressive rulers! We are aware of the obligation to call for truth against oppression and oppressors, and we take that as a motto. We exculpate ourselves from being from among the demons whose tongues become silent in front of the oppressive rulers. Also, we are working in order to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" Al Rashidah upon the method of Prophethood which shivers from it the predatory rulers of the Kufr systems whenever time converges and shown its signs, and we walk upon our method with confidence in the promise of Allah (swt) for us, to be patient on the hardships, be tireless against the pressure, and be fearless from the oppression of the oppressors. Our method is clear with evidence, and we see the sun which was permitted to rise from the horizon, because we follow the footsteps of the Prophet (saw) as he enlightens the road for us. As for you, you are not able to see farther than your noses because you hold on to oppression which pushes you to darkness, and oppression is the fire and darkness of the Day of Judgment.

[وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُون]

"And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned." [Ash-Shu'ara: 227]

As for you O oppressive government! It is as if oppression has become a part of your nature, and there is no distinction between the rulers sitting on the ruling thrones, who take it upon themselves the covenant of defending you and your rotten democracy which reeks. They are no different from their ancestors except in the clothing which they wear. This clothing which they wear will be the whips of fire striking their faces on the Day of Judgment.

As for you O Muslims! You must stand by the side of the Dawah as you have stood by your Muslim brothers who were oppressed; because this Dawah works so that you reach this state that you have been absent since 91 years ago. It is your state which Allah (swt) has ordered, and was given glad tidings by the Prophet of Allah (saw), it is the state of the second Khilafah "Caliphate" Al Rashidah upon the method of Prophethood.
