On the transnational day of migration-related actions, about 6-700 people from Northern Germany, among them many refugees, demonstrated in Hamburg for freedom of movement, against camps and deportations, for the right to stay and equal rights for all. Although it was raining cats and dogs, people were in high spirits. This was due to suitable music from the truck with loudspeakers and informations about a new global passport, which was available on the demonstration, and also to several speeches, telling about struggles here and elsewhere.

principles of dialogue and democracy with respect for all the religious and

DARE TO STRUGGLE FOR A NEW WORLD!
THE FASCIST ATTACKS WILL NOT DISCOURAGE US!
Statement by ILPS Turkey Chapter
The ruling classes in our country show their loyal collaboration to imperialism by deciding to send soldiers to Lebanon. Dissidents inside the country are blockaded and attacked by state force, because they constitute a big problem of the imperialist policies
For this reason, the ruling classes have developed and expanded their lynch culture in order to turn the people up against each other. The destroying-denying attacks against the Kurdish people, 9 year old Mizgin that was killed and the bomb attack in Diyarbakir show that these attacks continue.
