For the memory of Hrant Dink



Some dozens of people gathered today the 19th February in Helsinki in front of the embassy of Turkey. The meeting was arranged by the Finnish PEN and some Finnish peace associations.

The meeting was arranged for the memory of Hrant Dink who was murdered one month ago. Also we wanted to express our solidarity for the Turkish people in their campaign to abandon article 301.

The weather was terrible. Temperature was -9 degrees and there was heavy wind from the sea. Here are some pictures from the meeting. As I was one of the people who arranged the meeting I went there good time in advance. When other people arrived I was freezing so much that it was almost impossible to take any pictures.
