The Musa Anter, or Kurdish Peace Train (named after an assassinated Kurdish writer) was organized by peace activists to call attention to the oppression of the Kurdish people in Turkey by their own government. At the time, the words for Kurd, Kurdish, guerilla and torture were banned and it was illegal to speak the Kurdish language.
The Peace Train was to leave London and travel through Europe to Diyarbakir in Eastern Turkey to celebrate International Anti-War Day there. Germany disallowed passage of the Train through its territory (the Germans and Turks have strong military ties). The group then flew to Istanbul, intending to take a group of busses to the Kurdish region. Turkish troops stopped them from reaching Diyarbakir, forcing them back to the capital.
On this day they tried to hold a press conference to discuss the Kurdish issue. The police arrested or beat all present, including foreign diplomats.
