My Prison Friend Yılmaz Güney

"Avni Bektaş got dressed. She gathered up the pink tissue paper, pencils, eraser, pencil sharpener, and sandpaper that she had randomly left on the small table while she was sleeping at night; put them on the bedside of her bunk bed. She was writing down her memories. She would sharpen the tip of the pencil with sandpaper so that it became very thin. She carefully wrote each word. He tried to write each letter slowly and in the most correct form.

He put a cigarette in his mouth. He was drinking Biri because he obeyed the decisions of the commune. Commune was the name given by the revolutionaries to the form of joint legislation they maintained in prisons; It was a voluntary union based on certain principles."

In the book titled "We Want a Stove, Window Glass and Two Breads", written by Yılmaz Güney while he was in Ulucanlar Prison, Yılmaz Güney described his roommate Avni Bektaş like this.
