STATEMENT FROM QAF REGARDING THE ARREST OF JOURNALIST JOAKIM MEDIN
STATEMENT FROM QAF REGARDING THE ARREST OF JOURNALIST JOAKIM MEDIN STATEMENT FROM QAF REGARDING THE ARREST OF JOURNALIST JOAKIM MEDIN During the Stockholm Pride parade 2023 our platform Queers Against Facism was used to protest against the oppression of LGBTQ+ people in Turkey. We chose to do this in collaboration with our comrades in Rojavakommittéerna by borrowing the so-called “Erdoğan-doll”. We simply put the doll portraying Erdoğan holding a pride flag on the side of our truck during the pride parade. The Pride flag is an extremely charged symbol in Turkey, and LGBTQ people who hold it risk their lives. Erdoğan has repeatedly led the way in hate against LGBTQ+ people, including statements such as “we are against the LGBTQ” during his campaign speeches. Apart from us wanting to protest Turkey's oppression against LGBTQ+ people we also wanted to show that we, as queers, stand together with our comrades in Kurdistan. Liberation for all is our demand. When the news reached us yesterday that the swedish journalist Joakim Medin was arrested in Turkey based on bogus claims of being responsible for actions involving the “Erdoğan-doll” we were utterly dumbfounded and shocked as Joakim Medin has never had anything to do with either our protest during pride nor our group, ever. We know of Joakim Medin as a professional journalist. Even though we are not surprised that Turkey disproves of his critical assessment of how their country has been digressing from democratic values (understatement i.e turned fascist) we are horrified and shocked to see how easy they could arrest Joakim Medin, while the whole world watches, on these absolutely false premises. We fear for all who have somehow dared to question the leadership of countries that seek out to silence anyone who is perceived as a threat against the prevailing hegemony. We are rightfully worried and should all be vigilant because apparently - one might just be arrested and detained on a whim.

Läs mer om biblioteket innan ni kommer på stödfesten den 5e april. 🧡🍊
What is the orange library? The Orange Library is a non-profit based in The Gambia. The Orange Library is dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for teenagers and young adults. The Orange Library is a Library. Picture with text: The Orange Library is and has always been, a community effort. People from different parts of the world are coming together to create this space. The Orange Library is crucial in a time and place where it struggles to exist. The Orange Library is a breathing space, a place to explore and imagine possible worlds. Picture with text: The Orange Library offers a place to read or write. To be by yourself or with others. To learn or rest. The Orange Library is a community of young voices. The Orange Library listens to these voices i.a. the needs of the Library. The Orange Library is activism in action. A solidarity that knows no borders. Picture with text: The Orange Library needs support. The Orange Library has bills to pay, books to buy, snacks to make for poetry-nights. The Orange Library is an Orange. A perfect slice carried by word of mouth. From Serrekounda to Högdalen on the 5th of April.
