JEF Action on 18-19 March 2007– European youth against the dictatorship in Belarus – Join in!
January 17, 2007
On the night of 18-19 March 2007 - the day of the anniversary of the Belarus "elections"- JEF will organize a coordinated pan - European action in different cities across the continent to show support to the suppressed civil society and opposition movement in Belarus. The action consists of gagging of statues in small and big cities throughout the continent that will symbolically be prevented from speaking freely, much like the current situation of the people in Belarus. Signs such as "Give a voice to the citizens of Belarus" will be hanged around the necks of the statues. A similar action was organised successfully by JEF a year ago in 23 European cities (more info under www.jef.eu).
JEF would like to invite everyone to join us in this action against Europe's last dictatorship during the night between the 18 and 19 of March - all it takes is some tape, a piece of paper and warm cloth! Go with your organisation, with your friends or join JEF's local section - simply contact belarus@jef.eu to hear where something is happening, to tell about your planned activity or with any questions you might have. Please also send any pictures from the statues you gagged to this address to go immediate online on www.jef.eu together with all other pictures from the pan-European action night in support of democracy!
Please spread this invitation to your organisation, networks and friends - the more youth that join in, the stronger will our message be to our political leaders, the European public and to our neighbours inside of Belarus!
