Dear Friends
For the 13th year now, KISA in cooperation with communities of migrants and refugees, Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot bicommunal and human rights organisations organises the well known Rainbow Festival, the largest antiracist, multicultural event with songs, music and dances, traditional food from different countries, a bazaar, info stands and activities for children.
We would like to invite you to Rainbow Festival 2010, which will take place in Nicosia this Sunday, 31 October 2010, in the Nicosia Municipal Park (CYTA) from 11:00 to 17:00. For more info, please find attached the flyer of the Festival.
As you are aware, the nationalist organization “Greek Resistance Movement” in collaboration with the “Cyprus Anti occupation Movement” and the “Movement for the Salvation of Cyprus” are organising on the 5th of November 2010 an event against migrants, calling people to protest “against illegal immigration” and “against colonisation”, with the slogans “No to the islamisation of the homeland,” “immediate deportation of illegal migrants” and “immediate elimination of the provocative allowances and other super benefits the so-called political refugees receive” (the relevant announcement, which is only in Greek, is attached).
In view of the above event, KISA has decided to carry out this year’s Rainbow Festival in Larnaca on Friday, 5 November 2010, at the Seafront Stage, instead of Limassol, as originally planned, so as to send anti-racist messages against the presence and action of extreme right wing and racist elements in Larnaca.
Forward and Come
