Synopsis

A Film by Erich Schmid (1989, 44 min.)

Camera: Erich Schmid. Sound/Editing: Helena Vagnières. Editing: René A. Zumbühl.

A delegation of observers went to the mass-trials conducted by the special military tribunals in Turkey. Erich Schmid documented the course of the trials with his camera, and together with archives material, put together a 45-minute video-film. His eye-witness report gives us an up to the minute account of the Turkish prisoners' hunger strike.
