Massive protest in Istanbul against Israel’s anti-Adhan legislation

Wednesday 7-December-2016

The Turkish relief group IHH organized on Wednesday afternoon a massive protest rally outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul to condemn Israel’s intent to ban mosques from using loudspeakers to recite Adhan (call to prayer).

The participants carried placards and chanted slogans condemning the occupation and its intended anti-Adhan legislation.

In a speech during the protest IHH spokesman Fathi Yazeji strongly denounced the Israeli occupation state for persisting in its violations and racist policies against the Palestinians and the Islamic holy sites.

Yazeji said that Israel’s racism would never succeed in preventing the Palestinians from reciting Adhan in their cities towns and villages

“The Israelis say that the sound of Adhan disturbs them but they should know that they are intruders and must leave Palestine for its people” he added.

At the end of the event a group of participants recited the Adhan loudly to confirm further their anger over the Israeli step.
