Citizens are organizing a protest against the attack on painter George Gabriel. The protest will happen outside the Deputy Ministry of Culture.
The event is set for Monday, December 22, at 5:00 PM. A Facebook post from ‘Alliance Against the Far Right, Fascism, and Racism’ says the attack comes from a climate of targeting, hatred, and tension in public talks. It also highlights how political and media groups exploit art and freedom of expression, which has led to more violence.
While criticism of art is fine, threats and attacks are not acceptable. The announcement urges everyone to join a large and peaceful mobilization to denounce the incident.
