Nu på lördag arrangeras en viktig demonstration bland annat av gruppen Rojavan ystävät i Åbo (Rojavas vänner). Demonstrationen är mot den attack som inleddes på onsdag av Turkiet mot nordöstra Syrien. Åbo är inte ensam med detta, utan liknande demonstrationer kommer att ordnas runtom i Finland samma dag.
Den 12.10 kl.13 är det samling vid Universitetsgatans gågata. ÅGV uppmanar alla som har tid och möjlighet att delta. En närmare beskrivning följer längst ner i det här inlägget på engelska.

Beskrivning av händelsen på engelska (kopierat från Facebook)
On the global day of action on Saturday 12th October, we gather at Yliopistonkatu Pedestrian Street in Turku at 1 PM to demand an end to Turkish invasion which began on Wednesday.
Trump announced on Sunday that he supports Turkey’s war plans against Northern Syria. On Wednesday afternoon Erdogan’s attack began. Turkey’s invasion will be a devastating humanitarian catastrophe, lead to ethnic cleansings, destroy the current world’s most important democratic project in Rojava along with all its people, and give rise to ISIS again. We cannot allow this to happen!
We demand:
– Finland’s EU Presidency to end the military action in Turkey
– Finland to break all diplomatic relations with the Turkish state
– Finland’s government to revoke already granted arms trade licenses with Turkey
– Finland and the EU to impose a trade embargo on Turkey
– a ban on flights over Northern Syria
Turkey is largely dependent on Finland’s, EU’s and other international community’s political and military support: that’s why we cannot remain silent while Turkey plans to continue and intensify its human rights violations. So bring your family and your friends and join us for the demonstration!
