What we do
Many countries practice forceful recruitment for war. Objectors are discriminated against and persecuted. We are campaigning in support of arrested conscientious objectors and backing groups and organisations in these countries opposing war, conscription and the military. We are lobbying for the human right of conscientious objection. In Germany and Europe we counsel conscientious objectors seeking asylum. We support their self-organisation.
"The commitment of Connection e.V. is very important to make visible the disrespect for conscientious objectors in Turkey in their struggle on an international level, to organise solidarity and support, also for those who are in the asylum process. It shows that we are not alone in Turkey. It strengthens us. For us such support is crucial."
Merve Arkun, Co-chair of Association for Conscientious Objection, Istanbul.
