Your Excellency,

We are writing to manifest our indignation for the judgement concerning Dr. Noemi Levy-Aksu : 30 months in jail for signing the declaration “We will not be a party to this crime! 10.01.2016″. The accusation of “ supporting terrorism” because of an appeal for peace is absurd and ridiculous.

Your Excellency,

We are writing to manifest our indignation for the judgement concerning Dr. Noemi Levy-Aksu : 30 months in jail for signing the declaration “We will not be a party to this crime! 10.01.2016″. The accusation of “ supporting terrorism” because of an appeal for peace is absurd and ridiculous.

In solidarity with the more than thousand Turkish citizens who supported this appeal, we decided to sign it also. In solidarity with Noemi Levy-Aksu, we ask to be considered as co-signators of this document.

With many thanks for your Attention,
