PRESS RELEASE Solidarity Is Not a Crime – The Voice for Gaza Must Not Be Silenced
Klikaktiv expresses unconditional solidarity with the peace activists who were arrested and deported while attempting to symbolically deliver humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. Their courage and dedication stand as a powerful act of resistance against the indifference and silence that dominate today’s world in the face of one of the most severe humanitarian crimes of our time.
While indiscriminate bombings continue, and access to food, water, and medical aid is almost entirely blocked, every attempt to shed light on the suffering of the people of Gaza and to demand an end to the violence is being silenced. A regime that bans aid and arrests those who act in solidarity is not defending safety – it is defending a narrative that justifies the destruction of a people.
Klikaktiv, as an organization that works with refugees and migrants from war-torn countries, bears daily witness to the consequences of war, persecution, and indifference. That is why today, we state clearly and loudly: solidarity is not a crime.
Silencing the voice that speaks out against aggression and violence must not become the new norm. The activists aboard the “Madleen” ship are not a threat – they are a reminder that in a world that forgets, there are still those who choose not to look away.
We call on the international public, institutions, and media not to allow the truth to be persecuted. An urgent and massive response is needed: to end the attacks on Gaza, to enable aid to civilians, and to protect the right to free speech and action for all those who speak out in the name of justice.

Solidarnost nije zločin – glas za Gazu se ne sme ućutkati
Organizacija Klikaktiv izražava bezrezervnu solidarnost sa mirovnim aktivistima i aktivistkinjama koji su, pokušavajući da simbolično dopreme humanitarnu pomoć civilima u Gazi, uhapšeni i deportovani. Njihova hrabrost i posvećenost predstavljaju otpor ravnodušnosti i ćutanju koje danas dominira svetom suočenim s jednim od najtežih humanitarnih zločina našeg doba.
Dok traje neselektivno bombardovanje, dok je pristup hrani, vodi i medicinskoj pomoći gotovo u potpunosti onemogućen, svaki pokušaj da se ukaže na patnju naroda Gaze i zahteva prekid nasilja biva ućutkan. Režim koji zabranjuje pomoć i hapsi nosioce solidarnosti ne brani bezbednost – već brani narativ koji opravdava uništavanje jednog naroda.
Klikaktiv, kao organizacija koja radi sa izbeglicama i migrantima iz ratom pogođenih zemalja, svakodnevno svedoči posledicama rata, progona i ravnodušnosti. Zato danas jasno i glasno kažemo: solidarnost nije zločin.
Gušenje glasa koji se protivi agresiji i nasilju ne sme postati nova norma. Aktivisti broda „Madleen“ nisu pretnja – oni su podsetnik da u svetu koji zaboravlja, još uvek postoje oni koji biraju da ne okreću glavu.
Pozivamo međunarodnu javnost, institucije i medije da ne dozvole da istina bude progonjena. Potrebna je hitna i masovna reakcija: za prekid napada na Gazu, za omogućavanje pomoći civilima, za zaštitu prava na slobodan glas i delovanje svih koji govore u ime pravde.
