> the town was not crowded) in Balikesir-Turkey. The 12th Biotechnology
> Congress which gathered the academicians in biotechnology departments from
> different universities was about to start when Social Ecologist
> Transformation and Izmir Anarchist Federation protested it. Anarchists
> entered the conference hall with the banner symbolizing biohazard grasped
> all the earth, written "Biotechnology Kills" and yelled "Life Murderer
Test
> Tubes". Anarchists protested the academicians who serve capitalism behind
> "science masks". Together with the banners two biohazard flags were
carried
> and the slogans "Biotech, Take Your Hand Out of Nature", "Science Masked
> Genetic Murderers" were yelled. As the protest went on, the security
police
> of the Balikesir Governor participating the congress, attacked the
> protestors. A protestor wearing Dr. Frankenstein mask shouted as "Come
here,
> I am a scientist, I want to use you as guinea pigs, I am a murderer", and
> the slogan "Blood, blood, Blood Spilling from the White Laboratory Coat"
was
> yelled. Although the security forced the anarchists to stop the action,
they
> shouted as "Capitalism Kills" and resisted the security. The academicians
> disturbed by the protest said "We are also on your side, we know the bad
> consequences of biotechnology, develop your antithesis if you are
against".
> Anarchists did not take academicians' tendency to "save the prestige of
the
> congress" and once more shouted out "In the name of science you are
serving
> capitalism".

> > This protest once more proved that how far and remote places the
> academicians, politicians, capitalists choose themselves to gather and
take
> decisions against humanity and nature, they will never ever feel
> comfortable!!!
