[please, forward this to others. Come, if you can. If you cannot come, please consider sending a message of sympathy and comfort to the family/friends of the young person killed by the Nazis, to Antwerp at janbuelens(a)hotmail.com or isabelle_wonderland(a)yahoo.com]

Demonstration against Nazi killers in Rotterdam 17 December

There will be a big demonstration against the Turkish Gray Wolves and other violent Nazis in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, on Sunday 17 December. The demonstrators will gather at 13 h. [1 p.m.] at the Conradstraat exit of the Rotterdam Central Railway Station. People will come from many cities to Rotterdam. E.g., the demonstrators from Leiden will gather at 12.30 in the Central Station hall of Leiden. Please, bring anti-Nazi signs.

This demonstration is in memory of Cafer Dereli, 22 years old, a hunger striker, political refugee from Turkey to Antwerp (Belgium), killed in Rotterdam by the Gray Wolves. Cafer was co-organizer of anti-fascist concerts in Antwerp. His young life was full of action against wars [of NATO against the Kurds and Yugoslavia] and social injustice [like promoted by the IMF and WTO].

Thousands of Rotterdam people were killed by Hitler's Nazis 1940-1945 [bombing of the city May 1940, deported Jews, resistance fighters, others.] Do not allow the Nazis to repeat their bloody history in Rotterdam, or elsewhere!

Turkish Nazis murder in The Netherlands

On Saturday 9 Dec. 2000, Turkish human rights activists held a hunger strike with local council permission, next to the town hall of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to protest against torture of political prisoners in Turkey.

After a [musical] Group Yorum concert in Rotterdam at the hunger strikers' place, they were attacked by a violent gang of "Gray Wolves", Turkish extreme Rightists, who stabbed to death one person and severely wounded three others [who will live, as we know now].

The Gray Wolves were founded by Colonel T|rkes, an admirer of Adolf Hitler, during the Second World War. They claim the "Turkish race" is supposedly superior to, e.g., Kurds. They have a record of violence in Turkey, The Netherlands, and many other countries. They are part of a network of extreme Right violent groups like NPD in Germany, CD and Voorpost in The Netherlands, Ustasha in Croatia, Vlaams Blok in Belgium, KLA/UCK in Kosovo. A week ago, Amsterdam police has found that Gray Wolves play a big role in narcotics traffic, and has seized illegal drugs and weapons at the Amsterdam Gray Wolves headquarters, including the Ulu mosque, in the Zeeburg area.

Nevertheless, some authorities in The Netherlands subsidize or otherwise support Gray Wolves. One factor here is their common support of NATO. The Gray Wolves are in the Turkish coalition government, and are big supporters of NATO, e.g., during the 1999 Yugoslavia war; when leftist Turks and Kurds in The Netherlands helped to organize peace demonstrations. The Dutch Ministers of Defence and Foreign Affairs, during the 1999 war, as now, were Messrs. De Grave and Van Aartsen, both members of the VVD party. This party this year held a meeting at the Gray Wolves' Ulu Mosque [see the local newspaper report, in Dutch, at
http://www.zeeburgnieuws.nl/nieuws/vvd-ulu.html

That party meeting claimed the Gray Wolves were not really bad. However, soon after this, the police found evidence of drugs, weapons, and trade in women forced into prostitution at the Ulu "mosque". Some Gray Wolves leaders had to be arrested. And now, the unprovoked murder of human rights activist/hunger striker Cafer Dereli.

After the killing in Rotterdam, more supporters of the hunger strike rallied against the Nazis by surrounding the hunger strikers, to protect them from more Nazi violence. Sunday afternoon 10 December, there already was a demonstration to commemorate Cafer. Even though it was very short notice, over 400 people [according to Dutch TV, which broadcast images; 1000 according to organizers] marched against the murder in Rotterdam. A spokeswoman said that the hunger strike in Rotterdam in solidarity with Turkish political prisoners would continue, as would other actions.

Do not let 1933-1945 return into the 21st century! Never again!
