Taksim Gezi’de halkın yaşam alanına sahip çıkma çabası, kıyıcı polis şiddeti, Başbakanın insanların onurunu ayaklar altına alan, hak hukuk tanımayan aşağılayıcı üslubu sonucu tüm ülkeye yayılan bir direnişe dönüşmüştür. Hak ve özgürlükler alanını giderek daraltan, yaşam ve katılım hakkını yok sayan, ifade özgürlüğünü ortadan kaldıran tavır, adalet taleplerinde direnen insanların sokaklara çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Her itirazı “gizli düşmanlar", “marjinaller”, “vatan hainleri” gibi mesnetsiz bir söylemle boğmaya çalışan, farklı hiçbir söze, tavra tahammül edemeyen Başbakan, toplumu “biz ve onlar” biçiminde ikiye ayırarak karşı karşıya getirmeye, insanları birbirine kıydırmaya teşvik edici tehditkar bir dil kullanmaya devam etmektedir. Oysa barışın inşasında, halkın toplumsal dayanışma ve barışı kurmanın örneğini oluşturduğu “Gezi Parkı Direnişi”ne bakmalı, görmeli, anlamalı, savaş dili, tavrı terkedilmelidir. Sokaktaki barışçıl eylemlerle ortaya konan itiraz suç gibi gösterilerek görmezden gelinmeye ve şiddetle bastırılmaya devam edilirse insanların göreceği zarar geri dönüşü olmayan bir noktaya, olaylar denetlenemez boyutlara ulaşacaktır. Unutulmamalı ki hükümetler meşruiyetlerini sadece kendisine verilen oylarla değil, insan hak ve özgürlüklerine saygı ve onları tesis etmesinden de alır. Bu nedenle öncelikle Başbakan ve hükümet üyelerine insan hak ve özgürlerini güvence altına alma temelinde görevlerini, sorumluluklarını hızla yerine getirmelerini hatırlatıyor, polisin alanlardan çekilmesine, polis şiddetinin hemen durdurulmasına, ayrımcı, aşağılayıcı, yok sayıcı, saldırgan dilden vazgeçilmesine ilişkin sorumluluklarını yerine getirmeye çağırıyoruz. Unutulmamalıdır ki temel hak ve özgürlükleri her koşul altında korumak devletin temel görevidir. KADIN KOALİSYONU kadinkoalisyonu.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECLARATION by WOMEN’S COALITION -TURKEY WE ARE CALLING UPON THE GOVERNMENT: IMMEDIATELY STOP POLICE VIOLENCE AND THE AGGRESSİVE, THREATENING AND CONDENSCENDING ATTITUDE AGAINST THE PEOPLE The peaceful sit-in began to counter planned construction at the Taksim Gezi park, which would replace one of downtown Istanbul’s few green spaces with a shopping mall, has evolved into nationwide demonstrations and people’s resistance as a result of the brutal police violence and firing with tear gas and water cannons on the protestors.Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s disrespect for the universal human rights and related laws, his condescending attitude and the style of language he continually uses about the demonstrators, added further to the growing discontent and demonstrations in a very short period of time. This attitude, which have further narrowed down the space for basic rights and freedoms and which that continues to ignore people’s right to assembly and participation has caused people to take refuge on the streets in thousands of numbers. Regretfully, the Prime Minister continues to view every differing views, protests and demonstrators as ‘secret enemy forces’,’marjinals’, and as ‘traitors’ and thus reflects an extreme intolerance for any form of dissent. He has also encouraged the society to divide as two opposing poles by calling the demonstrators as ‘others’ with hidden interests to topple his government. We believe on the contrary that Taksim Gezi Park resistance offers a good opportunity to listen and to construct a much stronger peace and social solidarity environment in Turkey. The government needs further to withdraw from an attitude and from using a terminology that continually criminalize the peaceful demonstrators. The street demonstrations and people’s demands are regarded by the government as criminal and unlawful, justifying for the growing police brutality. If people’s demands are continued to be ignored and violence against the demonstrators sustained, we believe that the damage will escalate further, more innocent people will get hurt, and, the state of things may reach a point of no return. We would like to remind that all governments gain legitimacy not only by the number of votes they receive, but, from the degree of respect they pay to basic human rights and freedoms and to their protection. In this connection, we invite, primarily, the Prime Minister and the members of his government, to act responsibly in securing human and individual rights by the removal of the police from all civil demonstration locations, stopping police brutality that has been exercised against the people, and, eliminating all excessive use of the very aggressive, separationist and condenscending language style and the attitude that appears to have been widely adopted at the highest level of the government. It should be remembered that it is the prime responsibility of the state to secure and protect basic human rights and freedoms, under all conditions. WOMEN’S COALITION –TURKEY kadinkoalisyonu.org
