Marchers came from cities throughout Germany including Frankfurt, Offenbach, Mainz, Wiesbaden, Erfurt, Nuernberg, Muenchen, Hamburg and Bremen to join in the rally, demonstrating support for Vietnam’s persistent stance of resolving the dispute through peaceful measures.

The march provided an opportune occasion for OVs in Germany to raise their voices in denunciation of China’s unilateral acts in the East Sea and show their patriotic love of their homeland.
 

They called on peace lovers from around the globe to stand shoulder to shoulder in opposition to Chinese aggression, including the inhumane acts towards Vietnamese fishermen.

A German friend Rocco Fritzchka said his conscience beckoned him to support Vietnam’s struggle against China’s illegal acts in the East Sea.

The organising board distributed thousands of posters and placards condemning China’s violations and sent an open note of protest to the Chinese Government through the consulate general in Frankfurt.

This is the second demonstration staged by OVs and international friends in Frankfurt in opposition to China since it deployed the Haiyang Shiyou-981 rig deep inside Vietnam’s Exclusive Economic Zone early May.
