Japonya

Japonya'daki felaketler sarmalı ve bilinmezlikler devam ediyor. Doğanın yıkıcı gücü nükleerin sınır tanımaz kötücüllüğü ile birleşti bir kez daha. Japonya'da oluştu bir kez nükleer yıkım.

Aynen Nazım Hikmet'in 1956 yılında yazdığı gibi yok oluş... Bir kez hatırlamak da fayda var.

JAPON BALIKCISI

Denizde bir bulutun öldürdüğü

Japon balıkçısı genç bir adamdı.

Dostlarımdan dinledim bu türküyü

Pasifik'te sapsarı bir akşamdı.

Balık tuttuk yiyen ölür.

Elimize değen ölür.

Bu gemi bir kara tabut,

lumbarından giren ölür.

Balık tuttuk yiyen ölür.

birden değil, ağır ağır,

etleri çürür, dağılır.

Balık tuttuk yiyen ölür.

Elimize değen ölür.

Tuzla güneşle yıkanan

bu vefalı, bu çalışkan

elimize değen ölür.

Birden değil, ağır ağır,

etleri çürür, dağılır.

Elimize değen ölür...

Badem gözlüm, beni unut.

Bu gemi bir kara tabut,

lumbarından giren ölür.

Üstümüzden geçti bulut.

Badem gözlüm beni unut.

Boynuma sarılma, gülüm,

benden sana geçer ölüm.

Badem gözlüm beni unut.

Bu gemi bir kara tabut.

Badem gözlüm beni unut.

Çürük yumurtadan çürük,

benden yapacağın çocuk.

Bu gemi bir kara tabut.

Bu deniz bir ölü deniz.

İnsanlar ey, nerdesiniz?

Nerdesiniz?

Support for the Protest in the Arab World!

Freedom, democracy, human rights and progress

We support the protests and the people's movements in the Arab world.

The Arab world is undergoing profound changes these days: People take to the streets to ask their undemocratic rulers to leave power. Transition to democracy, freedom and economic, social and societal progress, freedom from nepotism and corruption are fundamental rights not yet enjoyed but claimed by more and more people in the Arab world. We look with admiration to our brave sisters and brothers in the Arab world who dare to stand up against their despotic rulers in spite of violent oppression.

Our message to the people in the Arab world: We support your non-violent struggle for freedom, democracy, human rights and economic, social and societal progress. We are proud of you and are with you in our hearts and our minds. You are the heroes of our days!

Our message to the rulers of Arab countries: The time of despotic regimes is over. Stop suppressing your citizens. Listen to the voices of your people. You have to make your choice now: Go down in history as the enlightened ruler facilitating historic change in your country or the despotic ruler suppressing the people of your country by force and violence.

Our message to European leaders (politicians, businessmen and women, celebrities etc): Support the non-violent peoples' movements in the Arab world. Use your influence on the rulers of Arab countries. Ask them to stop shooting at their own people and to facilitate quick transition to free democratic societies treasuring human rights, rule of law, good governance and boosting economic, social and societal progress.

Another 19th January...

hrant is still alive... we still remember!!!
It has been 4 years...

For 4 years, we keep looking for the justice, conscience and the law.

We cannot find them.

For 4 years we keep looking for the judiciary, the government, the parliament.

We cannot find them.
For 4 years, we keep talking about the powers behind the murderers of our friend;

We cannot make our voice heard.

The European Court of Human Rights convicted the state, they were relieved to have a narrow escape.

We used our human right and demanded justice, they said that he was a child.

We asked them, then, to find the big brothers, they ignored.

We used our civil right and asked questions; they mocked us.

We will, once again, get together on the 4th anniversary of Hrant Dink's murder, to stand in solidarity and to commemorate him together with his family, friends and beloved ones.

We will be at the spot he was shot on January 19th 2007 on the very same moment.

The ones who do not shed light upon the darkness which makes murderers out of babies, favours the light. - Rakel Dink

Let us unveil that darkness!
