Claim the funeral of Ahmed Al-Khaldi, the martyr of the peoples!
We have lost our 27 years old friend, comrade Ahmed al-Khaldi, with more than a hundred progressive, democrat, pro-peace people on the double bombing attack organised before “Labour, Peace and Democracy Rally” planned for 10th October Saturday in Ankara by democratic mass organisations and political parties. Our condolences for all the oppressed peoples.
Ahmed was born on 15th May 1988, i.e on the anniversary of the Nakbah, the great tragedy of Palestinian people. He was born and brought up in Jabbaliyah refugee camp in Gaza where Zionist entity has kept under a heavy siege and performed massacres systematically for years, and he came to Turkey on 2013. He has been teaching Arabic and English in Antakya and also voluntarily taught Arabic in Ahmet Atakan Library of People’s Houses. Ahmed who participated People’s Councils/Council of Right To Live Against War which have been formed against war and mobs who made a blood bath of Bilad al-Sham (Levant), actively, wanted to go to Gaza in order to get engaged but couldn’t visit his country he has been born and brought up, because of the siege of the Zionist entity and Egyptian regimen.
Comrade Ahmed Al-Khaldi who has spent his short life against Zionist occupation, teqfirian/jihadist entities and breathed his last in Ankara on 10th October while demanding “peace”, is a martyr of all the peoples.
Ahmed’s family want to come to Turkey in order to take up his body but they are forbidden to leave Gaza because of the siege. The family, on the other hand face the visa obligation that government of Turkey practice against Palestinians. The funeral will be bid farewell by Palestinian Consulate in Ankara on 15th October Thursday *. We call all our friends from Turkey and Palestine, especially the ones in Ankara to claim and participate the funeral of Ahmed.
