Time is of the essence and so we are asking you to act quickly and do whatever you can on 21 and 22 June by organising actions, demonstrations and marches at and around Turkish Embassy and Consulates. We anticipate this will be the first of a series of support actions. The dates coincide with actions organised by the IUF's sister global union, ITF, which represents transport workers workers and with major actions planned in Germany by workers with connections with Turkey. Please find a contact list of Embassy and Consulates of Turkey here: http://www.mfa.gov.tr/turkish-representations.en.mfa. Also, please find attached a model letter that you should deliver to the Turkish Embassy or Consulate while gathering outside their building. You will need to explain to the highest rank diplomat available - ideally the Ambassador - that action is intended to ensure that Turkey guarantees its people their right to freedom of expression and assembly. The aim is to have the Ambassador or Consul pass this message to the Government in Turkey. The demands of this protest are as follows: · The Government in Ankara should put an end to state violence against peaceful demonstrators and ensure that the right of freedom of expression and assembly is guaranteed in all public areas of Turkey. · Those responsible for the thousands of injured people and the deaths of Mehmet Ayvalıtaş, Abdullah Cömert, Ethem Sarısülük and Mustafa Sarı should be held accountable, dismissed from their posts and prosecuted before the law. · Detained citizens who attended the protests across the country should be immediately released with an official statement declaring that there will not be any investigations pursued into them. · All the legal and practical barriers against the exercise of trade union rights are removed and the right to strike is respected. · Detained trade unionists, journalists and all others unjustly held for legitimate acts of protests and political opposition should be released immediately. Please organise actions and invite other trade unions, community activists and members of the media to increase the impact of your action. We attach some artwork that can be used for leaflets, posters etc. Please contact Burcu Ayan <[email protected]> at the IUF Secretariat. Please remember also to send Burcu any action reports including photographs - these will be shared publicly on-line. We look forward to hearing from you. .................. Merhaba arkadaslar, IUF olarak uyelerimizi Turkiye icin eylemlilige ve ozellikle 21-22 Haziran tarihlerinde olmak uzere Turk Konsolosluklari ve Buyukelcilikleri onunde gosteri yapmaya ve elciliklere Basbakana iletmek uzere mektup birakmaya elcilik veya konsolosluk gorevlileri ile konusmaya cagiriyoruz. Lutfen konuyla ilgili ekte ve asagida ilgili metinleri bulunuz. Haftasonunda sureci ITF ile de paylastik ve onlarin da tam destegini aldik ve akabinde ITUC da hazirlamis oldugum metinlerden ve ITF`in de uyelerine gonderdigi sirkulerden faydalanarak bir yazi gonderdi. Bu surecte destekleri ve ilhami icin ve Almanya`da eylemleri orgutlemeyi baslatan Selahattin abiye tesekkuru borc biliriz. 21-22 Haziran`da basta Almanya ve Ingiltere olmak uzere ve akabinde de Endonezya ve Tunus gibi Muslaman ulkelerde bu eylemleri uyelerimiz ve bolge ofislerimiz ile orgutlemeye calisiyoruz. Eylemlilik gosterecek sendikalar ve ulkelerine iliskin bilgileri zaman icerisinde sizlerle paylasacagim. Gelen raporlar ve fotograflar derlenecek ve online paylasilacak hem IUF sayfasindan makale olarak hem de gorsel ciktilara iliskin IUF-ITF`in ortak flickr sayfasindan. Uluslararasi orgutler olarak gezi parki ile baslayan eylemlilik ve sokak direnislerini uluslararasi arenada uyelerimizi mobilize ederek ve tek bir gun veya 2 gunluk eylemlilige hapsolmadan daha uzun bir surece yayilan gosterilerle ve farkli ulkelerde sendikalarin uyeleri ile birlikte sokaga cikmasi ve Turkiye`yi protesto etmesini saglayarak destegi somutlamaya calisacagiz. Bu surece ekleyebilecegimz ve uluslararasi arenada uygulanabilecek farkli eylemlilik cesitleri onerileriniz varsa duymak isteriz. Ilk aklima gelen ``Duraninsan`` eylemini uluslararasi alanda yaymak bunlardan biri olabilir mesela, ancak tabi ki once Turkiye`de yapilan bu eylemin sonuc ve faydalarini degerlendirmemiz onemli olacaktir. Gelen destekleri sosyal medyayi da kullanarak yaymaya calisacagiz ancak sizlerin de katkisi ile taksim dayanismasi ogelerini uluslararasi dayanisma calismalari ve orneklerinden haberdar edebilirseniz seviniriz. Uluslararasi dayanisma calismalarimizla ilgili sizleri bilgilendirmeye devam edecegim. Dayanisma dileklerim ve selamlarimla, Burcu _______________________________________________ Networkedlabour mailing list [email protected] http://lists.contrast.org/mailman/listinfo/networkedlabour -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
