COMMEMORATION DAY JANUARY 7, 2022
Memorial rally on the 17th anniversary of Laye Condé’s death in Neustadtspark.
On Jan. 7, 2022, over 250 people gathered in Neustadtspark to remember those affected by Emetic Torture in Bremen and to commemorate Laye Condé. Speakers of the Initiative in Memory of Laye Alama Condé and the Initiative in Memory of Achidi John from Hamburg made clear in their speeches that state policy has always had a racist slant and called for no let-up in the fight against racism. Thus, the speech of the Initiative in Memory of Laye Alama Condé states:
“The emetic torture is history. But the racism in authorities, in police and politics, the racism on the streets, the racism in the minds, is brutal present – and it is life-threatening.”
Reference was also made at the meeting to the place of remembrance for Laye Condé and 13 years of forced administration of emetics, which the state of Bremen plans to realize in the next few years.
The Mobile Place of Remembrance can be visited at the Goetheplatz till the End of 2023.
An overview of past commemoration days can be found under COMMEMORATION DAYS January 7.
