This year will mark the 30th anniversary of the ban on the KurdistanWorkers' Party (PKK) on November 26th. Germany, which has always had theclosest relations with Turkey, was one of the first countries to issue aban on the activities of the PKK. What were the reasons for this? ----For almost 30 years, the ban on activity has placed an entire societyunder general suspicion: the persecution of activists for allegedactivity for a 'terrorist organization' and long prison sentences arenormal, without individual crimes being able to be proven in most cases.Searches of Kurdish associations, bans on publishing houses and theconstant risk of deportation for politically active Kurds are also partof everyday life in Germany. During the fight against the 'IslamicState', the Left Party, the FDP and the CDU discussed lifting the PKKban in the Bundestag. Today, however, the level of criminalization hasreached a new level, but how could this happen?In the information event we want to talk about the Kurds and theemergence of the Kurdish freedom movement. We also want to take a closelook at the political motives for the activity ban and discuss itsconsequences. The PKK ban creates a huge democratic deficit because itdeprives a society of its voice. But what can we do about it, whatoptions exist legally and politically and why should we, of all people,campaign for the PKK ban to be lifted?We want to talk to you about this together. That's why, in cooperationwith AGF Trier, we invite you to the Multicultural Center on the 2ndfloor of Balduinstrasse 6 on November 8th, 2023 from 6:30 p.m.Lift the PKK ban - strengthen democracy!https://trier.dieplattform.org/2023/10/07/30-jahre-pkk-verbot-30-jahre-kriminalisierung-der-kurdischen-gesellschaft/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
