The Global Campaign on Military Spending (GCOMS) is an initiative of @intpeacebureau.bsky.social & aims to shift military spending towards human & environmental needs ☮️
We call for a full explanation from the Turkish & German authorities regarding these actions & urge all NATO member states to publicly condemn the mistreatment of peaceful & democratic activists. Today,as always,we say no to the undemocratic & rights-violating NATO,& yes to global peace & justice.
