Rally and march with the demand for a just life in Geneva
Rally and march with a demand for fair life
The most influential and enthusiastic event of recent times in Geneva The protest rally and march was held for asylum seekers and refugees, who suffered all despised discrimination on the occasion of Afghan young Ali Reza, who put an end to his life. Portuguese, Iranian, Afghan, Kurdish, Arab, Turkish, African...) turned into a very active action with the march. Turning the front into a meeting area, he had to open the walking path.
A large cloth poster of Ali Reza was hung in the building, and Ali Reza was written in front of his door with burning red candles. Speeches were made in Afghan Persian and French. In the speeches, it was emphasized that many factors, from the institutions managing the camps to the immigration administration institution, from the courts to the laws and practices that do not befit human dignity, drive asylum seekers and immigrants to suicide.
Calls for sensitivity, empathy and solidarity were made. Ali Reza's teacher and a social institution employee were among the speakers. In fact, there was exactly the atmosphere of a Gezi Park forum.
A trainer sang the lament song he had composed for Ali. Nammou artivists, who accompanied the slogans with their instruments and voices, were also there.
People marching with slogans from the front of the Hospice Général, which is responsible for the camps, to the Place de Neuve. Representatives from various institutions and organizations, Ali Reza's friends, refugees staying in the camps gave speeches to the audience. "HOSPICE INJUSTICE!" (Unjust Hospice), "VIVANT JUSTICE!" (Fair Life), "ALI REZA, ON N'OUBLIE PAS!" (Ali Reza, we will not forget you), slogans such as "NON N , NON F" were chanted.
The action that started at 16 was still going on at 20:00. Many segments, from non-governmental organizations to officials of official institutions, opposition organizations and initiatives, supported the action. However, we should especially commemorate the friends of Ali Reza, who, after the news of the Ali Reza incident, brought the incident to the public agenda, sometimes with very small actions but persistently, and eroded the doors of many Swiss, Turkish and Afghan people and institutions.
It was commendable that these young people, mostly between the ages of 15 / 25, made speeches and organized the action with great devotion, sometimes with angry emotionality, sometimes with a rebellious cry.
In addition to young people, many middle-aged and older Swiss did not leave the field for a long time, empathizing with other peoples, showing solidarity, Switzerland it was remarkable that some opposition collectives of origin came to the area with their banners and banners, it should have been done.
We wish it to be an example...
