Turkey Concerning the case of the 5 arrested people in Istanbul‏

Dear people of the movement,

A few days ago the police arrested 5 people in Istanbul during the #CrossingNoMore protest

Until now, they are still in jail. As most of the press is totally lying, we made a little a campaign. The money will be used for the juridical and other costs, if there will be some money left, it will go to the antiracist struggle in Istanbul. 

The bank account is:

borderline-europe e.V.

IBAN: DE11430609674005794100
BIC: GENODEM1GLS (Bochum)
Key word: Türkei Soli

 

At the moment, we think that it will be better to wait until Monday with actions, because it i not very clear if 2 people will be deported to their home countries, or not.

Here you could read the statement, that was published by groups in Istanbul and Ankara: http://gocmendayanisma.org/2015/09/23/solidarity-is-not-a-crime-it-is-the-courtesy-of-people/

It can also be signed by groups that are declaring solidarity with the 5 arrested people. If you want to sign, please write a mail to: zigzagda@yahoo.com

All the best,

Mathias
