中欧社会论坛 - China Europa ForumEurope: Towards a Common Space for Housing Rights Movements
Date: 2006
Published by International Alliance of Inhabitants
Over 150 participants from 15 European countries attended the presentations on the violations of housing rights on the old continent.
We watched the slide presentation of the barricades against the demolitions ordered by the Turkish government, in the popular quarters of Istanbul, with the aim of relocating, hundreds of miles away, the Kurdish refugees who in the last decades had built their homes and their livelihoods there. The representatives of the Popular Committee against the demolitions underscored the contradictions of a country which, in its effort to become a part of Europe, destroys houses considered “illegal” instead of defending civil rights.
