Demonstration in Helsinki, 03.06.2009 Snellmanninkatu 11,
In Europe and Asia millions of people who have been forced to leave their homes or to live under tyranny as a result of the wars of the last century. These deportations have not followed international agreements. Since 1907 possessory right has been fundamental right without consequence of wars or possible changes of borders. Several agreements on human rights also support those who have lost their homes and possessions, although they have not been followed.
Stalin's successors Putin and Medvedev carry on as occupiers in Europe and Asia. For decades after the Second World War German leaders have been condemned for the deeds instructed by the Soviet Union. There was not enough time to convict Stalin, but those crimes must be cleared up, as the European Council has demanded.
Is it rational to conclude agreements with Russia, if they are not followed and demanded to be followed? Russia must stop violating human rights within its own region and return occupied land to China, Japan, Finland, Estonia and other objects of injustice.
Private people or civic organizations cannot mend injustice but have elected their representatives to do it. Our organizations of human and fundamental rights presume immediate actions from the leaders of Finland and Russia to realize the rights of the deported and refugees.
We do not accept biased or forced new agreements, which invalidate the right of men and their descendants on their native place and property.We want to emphasize these items with our demonstration in Helsinki, Snellmaninkatu 11, on Wednesaday the 3rd of June, 2009, 11.00 am while the Prime Ministers Matti Vanhanen and Vladimir Putin negotiate at the Assembly House of the Estates.
