Conscientious objection is a right, but not in Cyprus.

The draft text is ready, but not in practice yet.

Years, months and days have gone by and the day has come when Halil Karapaşaoğlu’s case will be heard in the Military Court on the 3rd of January.

This is not just a case of ‘not doing your military service’, but a matter of principle, life philosophy, a matter of rights. This case belongs to all of us.

Let’s get together with Halil Karapaşaoğlu and Haluk Selam Tufanlı and have a chat. Let’s talk, listen, and discuss. Maybe they’ll hear us, and on the 3rd of January, finally grant us our right to conscientious objection.

Date: 20 December 2018, Thursday.

Time: 19:30-22:30

Location: Famagusta Castle Arcade

Queer Cyprus is a civil society movement that started in 2008 with the name of “Initiative Against Homophobia” to change the discriminatory laws in the north of Cyprus and to create public opinion for the rights and freedoms of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans and Intersex people. Queer Cyprus embraces diversity and wages a feminist, anti-militarist, ecologist and veganist struggle against all forms of oppression.
