4th INTERNATIONAL MARCH
FOR FREEDOM
OF OPPRESSED MINORITIES AND PEOPLES
BERLIN, PARIS, ROME
SATURDAY, 22 OCTOBER, 3 p.m.
This silent demonstration aims to denounce the absence of freedom that many Peoples and Minorities have to endure, and to give a wider visibility to the commitment of whoever is fighting for freedom in the world. Società Libera is an independent and non partisan association. Being consistent with its own conception of Liberalism, which acknowledges supremacy and a central role to the Person and to his natural rights, it has been promoting for three years in Rome a March for the freedom of the Burmese, Iranian, Tibetan and Uyghur Peoples. This year, considering the worsening condition of human rights in the world, we believe that it is not enough to demonstrate separately and for single situations and we have organized the March at the same time in three European capitals.
With this event, the Promoting Committees in Rome, Paris and Berlin, made up of the representatives of the concerned communities, intend to involve the people of Europe in the defence of human rights. They believe that the Western world must shake up and concretely rally about the living condition of hundreds of thousands of people, and that Europe and supranational organisms must take a position in defence of minorities, instituting and celebrating the European Day for Freedom of Oppressed Minorities and Peoples.
At 3 p.m. of October 22, in Berlin from Checkpoint Charlie to Brandenburger Tor, in Paris from the Statue of Liberty (Ile aux Cygnes) to Trocadéro, in Rome from Piazza Bocca della Verità to the Colosseum, the three Marches will start, guided by the international leaders of the different Communities, who will close the three demonstrations.
The promoting committees appeal to press organs and to communication operators, so that they acknowledge the importance and the specificity of this event, diffusing it as much as possible.
