FRANKFURT, GERMANY
In Frankfurt, internationalists activists carried out graffiti, lettering and symbols in solidarity with the PKK into the German cityscape and made a short video about the PKK ban.
Today marks the decentralized day of action against the 27-year ban against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Germany.
The nationwide initiative “Our Utopia against Repression” was initiated weeks ago with an appeal to the public for the creation of common anti-racist, anti-capitalist, feminist, ecological and democratic struggles. The initiative is supported by numerous political groups.
Originally, a large demonstration was planned in Cologne. Due to increasing numbers of new corona infections and the resulting stricter rules in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the callers decided to hold a day of action.
An activist by the name of Roj Amara explained: “We felt obliged to the call, if not centrally, then decentrally, to make the symbols, colors, names of the PKK visible everywhere, in order to rebuke this unspeakable ban. For us, the PKK means hope for a different society and a better world. And we will not let this be taken away, not by the Turkish, German or any other state.”
