The European Union of Jewish Students called for a day of action, \u00a0 protesting the presence of Dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in \u00a0 Copenhagen on Thursday 17th December 2009. The day was meant to begin with a full page ad, sponsored by EUJS \u00a0 and Stop The Bomb, in The Copenhagen Post (a Danish newspaper in \u00a0 English,\u00a0 circulating 15,000 papers daily), condemning the Iranian \u00a0 president and it’s regime for it’s pursuit of a nuclear bomb, \u00a0 support for terrorism as well as it’s ongoing violence against the \u00a0 Iranian people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
EUJS and Stop The Bomb were however angered and \u00a0 disappointed to receive news from The Copenhagen Post as they had \u00a0 decided not to publish the ad for unconvincing and unclear reasons. \u00a0 This open violation of freedom of speech and press lie in direct \u00a0 contrast and irony of the UN\u2019s continued insistence to give one of \u00a0 the worst human rights violators in the world an international stage \u00a0 to disseminate his constant rhetoric of hate and violence without \u00a0 limitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
EUJS had at the same time, in collaboration with a number of Iranian \u00a0 dissident groups, organised two vans to circle Copenhagen city \u00a0 centre and the Bella Center Conference Hall. Both cars were draped \u00a0 with posters, 2×4 Meters in size, graphically showing the human \u00a0 rights abuses that occur on a daily basis in Iran. The cars received \u00a0 a high level of public visibility, and continued to raise awareness \u00a0 and concern on the subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cars will continue to be driving the \u00a0 streets of Copenhagen on Friday. In the afternoon EUJS chairperson Jonas Karpantschof alongside a \u00a0 number of high profile Danish MP\u2019s and Iranian Human rights \u00a0 activists addressed\u00a0 a protest organised by Frit Iran against \u00a0 Ahmadenijad\u2019s presence in Copenhagen. The Protest was attend by some \u00a0 600 people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was followed immediately by EUJS\u2019s own protest outside the \u00a0 Danish Parliament, The Folketing, which elaborated on message of the \u00a0 Iranian human rights violations, but, having collaborated with Stop \u00a0 The Bomb, introduced the new and vital message of stopping the \u00a0 Iranian regime developing Nuclear weapons. The protest, despite the \u00a0 bitter cold, was attended by some 200 people carrying images and \u00a0 banners condemning the Iranian regime. EUJS hopes that the combined efforts of all of the days actions has \u00a0 served to awaken and direct public consciousness towards to the dire \u00a0 threats that the Iranian regime presents to the world, and how \u00a0 Ahmadinjad\u2019s presence should not and will not go unnoticed or \u00a0 without protest in Copenhagen, or any other European city in the \u00a0 future.
