- With yesterday's information on how more and more people fall ill with corona and with respect for the healthcare's strained situation, we cancel Thursday's planned event.

We plan to hold a demonstration later this year when the situation is better, says Madeleine Körössy, treasurer of Amnesty Sápmi's board.

Behind the manisfestation are Amnesty Sápmi, the Sami Association in Stockholm, the Sami Association in Uppsala, Sápmi in Östergötland, Magasin DIKKO and the Fourth World Association.

- But we must never forget the grave looting, the desecration of holy places, the skull measurements and the photography of Sami, travelers, Roma and other minorities.

We will continue to demand that the ownership of the images of Sami that are in the racial biological image archive be handed over from Uppsala University to the Sami Parliament, says Madeleine Körössy in a press release.
