Meeting in Milan demands freedom for Abdullah Öcalan

The International People's Tribunal, Società INformazione/Diritti Globali, and UIKI organized a meeting to condemn the International Conspiracy.

A meeting titled "Solidarity with peoples, mobilization against governments. We continue to denounce human rights violations in Turkey and Europe's complicit silence" was held in Milan.

Promoted by the International People's Tribunal, Società INformazione/Diritti Globali, UIKI (Information Kurdistan Office in Italy), the meeting condemned once again the "International Conspiracy that led to the abduction of the Kurdish people's leader,  the grave isolation to which he has been subjected for 24 years, the condition of political prisoners and, in general, the systematic violation of human rights and the genocidal policies that Erdogan's regime carries out against the Kurdish people."

The meeting started by remembering the "Kurdish, Turkish and Syrian populations are now victims of an earthquake of unheard-of gravity which claimed thousands of lives in the night between 5 and 6 February."

A catastrophe that, said the speakers, "would be wrong to consider "natural", as its terrible effects are aggravated by speculative policies, wild urbanization and lack of prevention. And, even more, from the subtraction of public resources from the uses of security and social well-being to be systematically diverted towards a system of war and oppression, which is the same system that dictates the law also in the West with the "military-industrial" complex ” that the war in Ukraine is further making rich and powerful, with war production and with the double business of destruction and reconstruction, as well as capable of influencing political choices and governments."

Two members of the International delegation against isolation in Imrali talked about the recent journey to Turkey and Kurdistan.

The president of the International People's Tribunal, Gianni Tognoni, made the closing speech.
