From the 13 to 15 July, the Associazione Amicizia Sardegna-Palestina will host the third edition of the cultural festival, “Palestine in Sardinia.” In addition to solidarity with thousands of Palestinian political prisoners held in Israeli jails, the third edition of the festival will focus on the Great March of Return, the peaceful popular protest that began on 30 March 2018 (the anniversary of Land Day), involving the entire Palestinian people.

The event will include a rich cultural program with various art forms such as music, dance, visual arts, literature and theater. The aim is to show the public some aspects of the traditions of the Palestinian people but also to make evident current and past historical and political events concerning the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The proceeds from the evening will benefit the “Handala Va A Scuola” program, which has been funded for several years by the Association in order to purchase books and educational materials and construct facilities for the education of children and youth in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.

PALESTINA IN SARDEGNA III° EDIZIONE
A cura dell’Associazione Amicizia Sardegna Palestina

Dal 13 al 15 luglio presso il Lazzaretto di Cagliari avrà luogo la terza edizione della manifestazione culturale “Palestina in Sardegna”, evento promosso e realizzato dall’Associazione Amicizia Sardegna Palestina. Oltre alla solidarietà con i prigionieri politici palestinesi, detenuti tutt’ora a migliaia senza capo d’accusa nelle carceri israeliane, il tema della terza edizione focalizzerà l’attenzione sulla “Grande Marcia del Ritorno”, la protesta pacifica iniziata il 30 marzo 2018 (anniversario della Giornata della Terra) che vede coinvolta tutta la popolazione palestinese.
La manifestazione, come già sperimentato nelle precedenti edizioni, si articolerà attraverso un ricco programma all’insegna dell’interazione culturale che coinvolge varie forme d’arte quali musica, danza, arti visive, letteratura, recitazione. L’obiettivo è quello di mostrare al pubblico alcuni aspetti che caratterizzano la tradizione del popolo palestinese, ma anche informare e far conoscere gli avvenimenti storico-politici attuali e passati che riguardano l’occupazione israeliana della Palestina.
Il ricavato della serata sarà devoluto al progetto “HANDALA VA A SCUOLA” con il quale l’Associazione finanzia da diversi anni la costruzione di strutture e l’acquisto di libri e materiale didattico per favorire l’istruzione di bambini e adolescenti nei Territori Occupati, nella Striscia di Gaza e nei campi profughi palestinesi in Libano.

Freedom for Gülizar Tasdemir!

Gülizar Tasdemir is a feminist and progressive activist who fought for 27 years with the Kurdish guerrillas. In 2015, she went to Norway due to health problems. She had applied for political asylum, which was rejected. She therefore went to Germany to make a new asylum application but she was sent back to Norway under the Dublin agreements (the person has to apply in the first country of arrival in the European Union). Amnesty International and other organizations have said that if Tasdemir were to be extradited to Turkey, she would certainly be tortured and stressed that her health was very bad.

On July 4th, the Norwegian state decided to give in to Turkish demands. She was handcuffed and deported to Turkey on a military plane. Since her arrival, neither her lawyers nor her family have been able to see her. Today, Gülizar’s life is in danger!

Freedom for Turgut Kaya!

Turgut Kaya is a Turkish journalist and revolutionary. He was arrested in February by the Greek authorities in accordance with the demand of Turkey. The latter has listed Turgut Kaya in its red list, has put a price on his head and has launched an international arrest warrant against this activist, because of his alleged membership in TKP / ML (Communist Party of Turkey / Marxist-Leninist). The Turkish state now asks for his extradition.

Since the beginning of June and at the risk of his life, he has been on a hunger strike to demand that the government of Syriza not obey the wishes of the Turkish fascist regime and not extradite him. Support him in his fight!

Non à la collaboration des polices européennes avec l’État fasciste turc !
Ni extradition, ni emprisonnement : liberté pour les prisonniers révolutionnaires turcs et kurdes !

Le tortionnaire Erdogan installe de plus en plus ouvertement un régime fasciste en Turquie en criminalisant les progressistes, limogeant des milliers de fonctionnaires, emprisonnant des parlementaires d’opposition etc. Face à cette situation, les pays européens continuent de collaborer économiquement, militairement et judiciairement avec l’État turc, membre de l’OTAN.
Les polices d’Europe se retrouvent à faire le sale boulot de la dictature fasciste turque en interdisant des organisations (comme le Parti des Travailleurs du Kurdistan – PKK), en emprisonnant des militants et en les extradant vers la Turquie alors qu’ils savent qu’ils y subiront tortures et conditions de détention très dures.
Nous ne devons pas accepter cela !

Liberté pour Gülizar Taşdemir !

Gülizar Taşdemir est une militante féministe et progressiste qui a combattu pendant 27 ans dans la guérilla kurde. En 2015, elle s’est rendue en Norvège suite à des problèmes de santé. Elle avait fait une demande d’asile politique qui a été rejetée. Elle s’est donc rendue en Allemagne pour procéder à une nouvelle demande d’asile mais elle a été renvoyée en Norvège en vertu des accords de Dublin (la personne doit effectuer ses demandes dans le premier pays d’arrivée dans l’Union Européenne). Amnesty International, ainsi que d’autres organisations, ont déclaré que si Taşdemir devait être extradée vers la Turquie, elle serait certainement victime de tortures et ont souligné que sa santé était très mauvaise.
Le 4 juillet dernier, l’État norvégien a décidé de céder à la demande turque. Elle a été menottée et expulsée vers la Turquie dans un avion militaire. Depuis son arrivée, ni ses avocats ni sa famille n’ont pu la voir. Aujourd’hui, la vie de Gülizar est en danger !

Liberté pour Turgut Kaya !

Turgut Kaya est un journaliste et révolutionnaire turc. Il a été arrêté en février par les autorités grecques pour répondre aux désirs de la Turquie. Celle-ci a inscrit Turgut Kaya dans sa liste rouge, a mis sa tête à prix et a lancé un mandat d’arrêt international à l’encontre de ce militant, du fait de son appartenance supposée au TKP/ML (Parti Communiste de Turquie / Marxiste-Léniniste). Elle demande désormais son extradition.
Depuis début juin et au péril de sa vie, il est en grève de la faim pour exiger du gouvernement de Syriza qu’il n’obéisse pas aux désirs du régime fasciste turc et qu’il ne l’extrade pas. Soutenons le dans son combat !

Children out of cages!
ICE out of NYC!
DHS out of everywhere!

This coming week, New York City will play host to the biggest ever gathering of homeland security officials and private security corporations. They will be coming from all over the country to plot how they can place even more of our hermanxs in cages and concentration camps — and how they can continue to profit at all of our expense. On Wednesday, July 11, from 4 to 6 pm, they will be showing off their newest homeland security “assets” in the streets of our city. Come out to defend our communities against this campaign of terror. Let’s show up in massive numbers to say it loud, and say it clear: ICE is not welcome here!

This is an unpermitted sidewalk protest, with a moving picket, signs, and chants.

There will be dinner hosted after the demo at Foley Square. Bring any food you’d like, it’s a potluck style dinner. Collective effort just like everything else we do! Thanks

Year after year, the state’s repression comes down more harshly against revolutionary ideas and the left, as reflected in the use of Section 129 (a/b) (so-called anti-terror laws) to criminalize activism. If you think that major incidents must take place in order for these paragraphs to be used, this is a false impression. Self-organized, left-wing and radical left groups and organizations are to the state a thorn in the eye. It tries to defame activists as criminals and terrorists, to depoliticize the resistance and discourage the population from associating with them. Whether organizing antifascist sport clubs, organizing or attending concerts, left events, demonstrationsa and camps – all of these can be used as a reason for repression. Political activists are criminalized and labeled as terrorists, disenfranchised, dehumanized and sometimes imprisoned for over 6 years. But even after their detention ends, the repression continues – surveillance, isolation and state harassment are on the agenda for those affected.

Migrants are hit particularly hard by these provisions. Not only do they represent the largest group of 129 (a/b) victims, but they are subjected to additional residency-related repression.

We take to the streets in solidarity against repression!

We demand:
Stop the inhumane conditions of detention, such as isolation!
Solidarity with the prisoners!
No extraditions to other states!
Stop the overturn of people’s right to remain and access state benefits! Full citizenship and civil rights for all!
For the legalization of all left and progressive organizations!
Down with sections 129 (a/b)! Freedom for all political prisoners!

In solidarity with political prisoners and against §129a/b
تضامنا مع السجناء السياسيين وضد القانون 129a/b

يعاني المهاجرون بالاخص صعوبات جمة وخطيرة من هذا القانون . وهم لا يمثلون فقط أكبر مجموعة متضررة فحسب ، بل يُضاف أيضًا القمع المرتبط بسحب الإقامة و إيقاف المعونات .
نحن نطالب:
وقف ظروف الاحتجاز اللاإنسانية و الحبس الإنفرادي !
التضامن مع السجناء!
لا لتسليم الأسرى للدول الأخرى!
وقف سحب الاقامات وإيقاف المعونات الاجتماعية عن الأسرى!
كامل حقوق المواطنة للجميع!
إضفاء الشرعية على جميع المنظمات اليسارية والتقدمية!
اسقاط القانون 129a/b!

الحرية لجميع الأسرى السياسيين!

Jahr für Jahr geht der Staat mit seiner Repression härter gegen revolutionäre Ideen und Linke vor. Wenn du denkst, dass viel
dafür passieren muss, um mit diesen Paragraphen bestraft zu werden liegst du leider falsch. Selbstorganisierte, linke und linskradikale Gruppen und Vereine sind dem Staat ein Dorn im Auge. Er versucht Aktivist_Innen als Kriminelle und Terroristen zu diffamieren, ihren Widerstand zu entpolitisieren und drängt die Bevölkerung sich von diesen zu entsolidarisieren. Ob antifaschistische Sportvereine, das Organisieren oder Besuchen von Konzerten, linken Veranstaltungen, Demonstrationen und Camps – all das kann als Anlass für ein solches Verfahren genommen werden. Politische Aktivist_Innen werden kriminalisiert und als Terroristen bezeichnet, entrechtet, entmenschlicht und teilweise über 6 Jahre eingesperrt. Doch auch nach der Haft geht die Repression weiter: Überwachung, Isolation und staatliche Schikanen stehen für die Betroffenen an der Tagesordnung. Diese Menschen werden aller Rechte beraubt, weil sie sich für eine Welt einsetzen, in der diese Unterdrückung keinen Platz hat.
Migrant*innen sind von diesem Paragraphen besonders hart getroffen. Nicht nur dass sie die größte Gruppe der129 a/b Betroffenen darstellen, auch die damit verbundenen aufenthaltsrechtlichen Repressionen kommen noch hinzu.

Wir wollen in Solidarität mit den Betroffenen und gegen diese Repression auf die Straße gehen!

Wir fordern:
Schluss mit den unmenschlichen Haftbedingungen wie Isolation!
Solidarität mit den Gefangenen!
Keine Auslieferungen an andere Staaten!
Schluss mit dem Entzug von Bleiberecht und staatlichen Geldern! Volle
Staatsbürger_Innenrechte für alle!
Für die Legalisierung aller linken und fortschrittlichen
Organisationen!
Weg mit den Paragraphen 129 a/b! Freiheit für alle politischen
Gefangenen!

On Friday 6th July 2018 Inminds human rights group will hold a vigil outside the Turkish Embassy in London to urge the Turkish government to put pressure on Israel to release 27 years old Turkish national Ebru Ozkan. Ebru Ozkan was arrested on 11th June 2018 when boarding her flight home at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv following a 4 day holiday in Jerusalem as part of a tour group of over 30 people.

Ebru Ozkan has been arbitrarily caged without charge for 24 days now. She has been accused of “threatening Israel’s security and having links with terrorist groups” – a catch all accusation with no specific charges being levelled. Although she is a Turkish citizen she has been referred to the military court, usually set aside for Palestinians political prisoners under Israeli military occupation where very few rights exist for the defendant and which has a conviction rate of 99.7%. Her military court hearings have been postponed seven times so far with the military asking for more time to try and pin something on her, no doubt through coercive interrogations. In the meantime she is denied bail and is left languishing in prison.

After the last hearing, yesterday, 3rd July, Ebru Ozkan was transferred to Israel’s notorious HaSharon prison where long term Palestinian women political prisoners are caged.

At HaSharon Palestinian women prisoners have to endure beatings, insults, threats, sexually explicit harassment and sexual violence, and humiliation at the hands of Israeli guards. They are often forced to undergo degrading strip searches during the middle of the night – forced to squat naked and subjected to intrusive internal body searches, for no reason other than as a punitive measure. Women have been beaten and left tied to their bed for a day and a half and not allowed to go to the toilet as punishment for spilling water.

The cells at HaSharon prison are overcrowded, dirty and infected with rodents and cockroaches. There is a total absence of basic hygiene, women have even been denied sanitary pads when menstruating. The heat is unbearable, The windows are closed and covered so that hardly any air or daylight can enter. The food is insufficient, and of inferior quality & dirty, often containing insects & worms, at times there are not enough portions for all the women.

Inminds chair Abbas Ali said “We are here to tell the Turkish government to uphold the nations honour and not abandon its daughter, Ebru Ozkan, into Israeli hands. Turkey has immense leveraging power, with Israel being Turkeys 10th largest trading partner with $4.9 billion in trade last year; and with Israel counting on Turkey for the pipeline to carry stolen Palestinian gas to Europe. We are here to ask Mr Erdogan not to abandon Ebru Ozkan, like the victims of the Mavi Marmara massacre were abandoned, but to use that leveraging power to free Ebru Ozkan so she can return home to her family. The Turkish government has the necessary means to secure Ebru Ozkan’s release, if it refuses to do so then they are also complicit in the horror Ebru Ozkan is suffering today in an Israeli dungeon.”
