    Doortmund Fans give support to ?Ar??



    Fans of Germany?s Borussia Dortmund football club have lent support to ?ar??, the iconic fan group of Turkey?s Be?ikta?, whose leading figures are now facing charges of attempting to stage a coup against the government.

    ??ar?? ultras, fight for your path,? read one large placard opened during the Sept. 13 Borussia Dortmund match against Freiburg on Sept. 13. Another placard read ?Never give up,? while another stated ?Freedom to Ultras, also Turkey.?

    An Istanbul court accepted Sept. 11 an indictment charging 35 members of ?ar?? with attempting to topple the government, following its involvement in last year?s Gezi protests.

    The first hearing of the trial, in which suspects face life imprisonment, is set to be held on Dec. 16.

    According to the indictment, ?ar?? members are accused of attempting to capture the Prime Ministry?s offices in Ankara and Istanbul with the aim of creating ?Arab Spring-like upheaval? and attempting to overthrow the government.

    Supporters from ?ar?? were among the groups braving violent police crackdowns during the first days of the Gezi protests, which led to many supporters being detained.

    ?ar?? reacted to the indictment, stating in a press conference in Istanbul?s Be?ikta? district that it has always been socially-aware on many issues, from disabled rights to child labor and nuclear power, expressing dismay about allegations that it is an ?armed organization,? as stated in the indictment.

    ?We have advocated a Turkey without nuclear power, and said donating blood would save lives. There was an earthquake in Van, we went to help. The Foundation for Children with Leukemia built new shelters, and we led the way. Our friends filled buses after the mining disaster in Soma to see if they could make themselves useful there. We said, ?Take your dirty hands off our children? for child workers. We still campaign for our disabled citizens. What we have done for animal shelters is also well-known,? ?ar?? said in its Sept. 9 statement.
