Nú er nóg komið!
Fjöldinn allur af afgönskum hælisleitendum eru drepin/nir í Íran og enginn virðist vera að tala um það.
Eini svokallaði glæpur þeirra er að þeir eru af öðru þjóðerni.
Fyrir nokkrum dögum voru 14 afganar brenndir lifandi eftir að Íranska lögreglan hófu skothríð á bifreið þeirra.
Fyrir ekki svo löngu var 45 afgönum drekkt af landamæravörðum eftir að þeir þröngvuðu þá út í á,
Á árbakkanum voru þeir barðir og þröngvað útí og sagt að synda aftur heim án þess að hafa samúð til að hugsa hvort þau væru synd eða ekki.
Jafnvel þeir sem voru syndir lifðu ekki allir af því að þessi á var straumsterk,þeir sem hoppuðu ekki útí var hotað með barsmíðum og lífláti ef þeir gengdu ekki skipunum þeirra.
Af 57 afgönum sem voru þröngvaðir útí lifðu aðeins 12 þeirra af.
Jafnvel afganska ríkisstjórnin hefur sagt að þe
ir muni rannsaka þetta mál en ekkert hefur heyrst ennþá,hvar er réttlætið hér?
Það eru um það bil tvær og hálf milljón afganskra hælisleitenda í Íran á þessum tíma og á hverjum degi berast nýjar hryllingsögur af misrétti og mótlæti sem þau lenda í.
Afganskir hælisleitendur í Íran hafa engra kosta völ,það yfirgefur enginn landið sitt án einhverrar hræðilegrar ástæðu.
Þetta eru bara atvikin sem hafa komið fram og erfitt að segja hvers kyns hrylling þeir hafi lent í sem eru ekki skrásettir.
Þetta er ekki eingöngu slæmt ástand í Íran, Afganskir hælisleitendur hafa alltaf orðið fyrir ofbeldi, aðskilnaði, morðum og rasisma í Pakistan, þeim hefur verið meint um helstu mannréttindi í Tyrklandi, Grikklandi og fleiri löndum og hafa margir nú týnt lífi sínu.
Jafnvel þótt að ástandið sé að versna í Afganistan þá hafa þjóðir innan Evrópu eins og Noregur, Danmörk, Svíþjóð og Þýskaland og fleiri eru að senda heim hælisleitendur og setja líf þeirra í hættu.
Við hreinlega getum ekki staðið hjá lengur gagnvart svona óréttlæti og verið þögul lengur, þjóðir heimsins eiga að stoppa að koma svona fram við hælisleitendur frá Afganistan
Enough is enough! Dozens of Afghan asylum seekers have been killed in Iran this year and yet no one has spoken about it. The only crime they did was having a different nationality. And today, once again, 14 Afghans have been burnt alive after Iranian police opened fire on their car they were travelling in. Not long ago, 45 Afghans were drowned after Iranian guards forced them into river. The Afghans workers were brought to the bank of the river, beaten, shot at and forced to jump in the river to go back to Afghanistan. Of 57 workers who were forced into the river by Iranian security forces, only 12 managed to survive. The investigations on this matter has gone nowhere and no one was hold responsible for this horrific act of tyranny.
There are approximately 2.5 Million Afghan immigrants in Iran and every day they have to deal with this kind of discrimination on a daily basis. Our Afghans that live there essentially have no choice, no one leaves their country with no justification. These are just the incidents that we are made aware of, surely much worse things are happening to Afghan refugees which are not put out.
It is not only Iran, Afghan refugees in Pakistan too have always been subjected to violence, segregation, murder and racism. In addition, Afghan refugees have been withheld the very essential human rights in Turkey, Greece and other countries and many have lost their lives. Even though the situation in Afghanistan is getting worse every day, members of EU such as Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and more are still deporting Afghan asylum seekers back to Afghanistan and putting more lives in danger.
We cannot witness this injustice and remain silent anymore, the world should stop this way of treating refugees from Afghanistan.
دیگر بس است. تعداد زیادی از پناهندگان افغان امسال در ایران کشته شده اند و هیچ اهمیتی داده نشده است. تنها گناهشان داشتن یک ملیت متفاوت بوده است. و حال دوباره در جنایت وحشتناک و غیر انسانی دیگری موتر حامل چهارده مهاجر افغانی توسط پلیس ایران مورد شلیک گلوله قرار گرفته و آتش گرفته است. و نه چندان قبل چهل و هفت نفر توسط مرزبانان ایران به رود انداخته شدند. کارگرها افغان به کناره ی رودخانه آورده شدند و بعد از لت و کوب آن ها را به زور به رود انداختند. دوازده نفر از این حادثه جان سالم به در بردند و بقیه ی افراد در آب غرق شدند. تحقیقات در این مورد به هیچ جایی نرسید و کسی مورد باز خواست قرار نگرفت. عدالت کجاست؟
دو و نیم میلیون مهاجر از افغانستان در ایران زندگی می کنند که هر روز و در کوچکترین ظوابط اجتماعی مورد نژادپرستی، زورگویی و تبعیض قرار می گیرند. هموطنان ما از ناچار و اجبار در ایران مهاجر شده اند و اکثریت آن ها انسان هایی خوب و درستکار هستند. این ها تنها حوادثی هستند که ما از آن ها مطلع می شویم، مطمئنا جنایات زیادی هر روزه بدون رسانه ایی شدن در ایران اتفاق می افتد.
نه فقط در ایران بلکه در پاکستان نیز پناهندگان افغان مورد خشونت، تبعیض، کشتار و نژادپرستی قرار می گیرند. به علاوه مهاجران افغان در کشور های ترکیه، یونان و کشور های دیگر از حقوق ساده و اولیه بشریت منع شده اند. با این حال و با توجه به اینه شرایط افغانستان هر روز بدتر می شود، کشور های عضو اتحادیه اروپا از جمله نروژ،سوئدن،دانمارک،آلمان و غیره هنز هم مهاجران افغان را دیپورت می کنند و زندگی های بیشتری را با اینکار به خطر می اندازند.
ما دیگر نمی توانیم این طور برخورد را تحمل کنیم و ساکت بمانیم، تمام کشور های جهان باید اینگوه رفتار را با مهاجرین متوقف کنند

June 19th is womens’ rights day in Iceland. Let’s celebrate together by listening to women of minority groups who so far haven’t been given a proper platform within the women’s rights movement. Let’s give them the stage.

There will be drinks at the bar and Dj Sigrun Skafta will bring the beat in. Loft Hostel is accessible and everyone is welcome to join the celebration!
Evening basic introduction course into the art of Shibari.
Shibari is the japanese word for “to tie” and nowadays stands for japanese rope bondage and it´s different forms.
Tying with rope can be done and experienced on many different levels and will always depend on your own preferences and intentions as well as the partner you are tying with.
FRIDAY 24. july (19:00–22:00)
Last 101 course was sold out and there is only space for 10 couples (or 20 people) So sign up if you don’t want to miss out!
It is no problem to come as a single person as most of the basic techniques can be practiced on yourself. Single persons can pair up with other single persons if everybody consents to it and negotiates their boundaries.
Please respect each other and each others personal space!
Ashtanga Yoga classes (up to navasana) for those who prefer to clear their mind by actively moving their body.
No magic skills required, beginners are welcome!
No music, no unnecessary talking, no big groups, no drama!
Space is limited, so you can message me to book your spot!
1.1 Abusive, inappropriate or offensive behavior will not be tolerated and will result in immediate expulsion from the space without refund. The organizers reserve themselves the right to ban people from the space and events if deemed neccessary for keeping a safe space for the community.
1.2 No shoes in the studio. We do not allow outside shoes inside the space for hygienic reasons.
1.3 Don´t step on other people´s ropes or handle them without asking permission first. Often a person´s set of rope is personal and valuable and we expect you to treat another’s property in a respectful way.
1.4 Don’t touch people without their consent. Some people need more personal space than others and even though hugging and tapping someone on the shoulder can be acceptable for some, it might be intrusive to others. Always check with people before touching them in any way. This goes double for people who are tied.
1.5 Please clean up after yourself. We want to keep the space clean and free of clutter. Please throw out any trash you create, store your bags/coats/shoes in the designated storage spaces and clear your space of rope after you’re done tying to allow others to make use of the available space.
1.6 No fetish wear or full nudity in the space.
We advise you to wear comfortable clothing while tying.
1.7 Keep your volume at a reasonable level, both while tying and while socializing. We have a special lounge area where you can sit and socialize. The main space is for bondage.
2.1 Please note that Rope Jams are rope bondage oriented (social) events and are NOT PLAY PARTIES.
2.2 During the Jams we allow both (and differentiate between) rope labbing and rope play sessions. Rope labbing is usually defined as “practicing” what you’ve learned and trying out new stuff. Usually, there is a lot of communication between rope partners and/or with others who are sharing their knowledge and insights. During rope play or a rope session a couple or individual is usually tying patterns and techniques they are skilled at and are usually more intimate.
2.3 Please approach people who are tying with care or perhaps save any remarks (like compliments, etc) until after their session is finished. Observing a session is always allowed, but please keep a respectful distance while doing so.
2.4 Some (traditional) rope related (consensual) play is allowed while tying. Most important to keep in mind is that to not unnecessarily disturb others. Typical play features can include: body manipulation, tying over the (unexposed) genital area, blindfolds, mouth-ropes, constrictions, predicaments or exposure (no full nudity). Please refrain from any extensive impact play, verbal humiliation (since this automatically includes others) and intentionally painful ties to cause screaming.
2.5 Neckropes are only allowed during floor-based sessions (not during suspensions) and only as “play ropes” (not tied of but held in hand) or tied off with a quick release. If you do not have experience with these techniques, don’t include them in your session!
2.6 Wax play is not allowed during our Rope Jams.
2.7 Make sure you practice safe and consensual bondage, don’t take unnecessary risk and only take risks if all participants are aware of the risk and willing to take them. Always keep a safety-shear and/or rescue hook in reach and ask for help in case of any emergency!
3. Sex positivity, sexual orientation and gender identity
3.1 We are proponents of a sex-positive culture. This does not mean that we allow sexual interaction within the venue. It does mean that we believe that the appropriate uses of sex extend beyond reproduction and have a non-judgemental approach to all, explicitly consensual, forms of sexuality. Slut-shaming, prude-shaming, and kink-shaming are highly opposed in our space and we instead strive for body acceptance, overall sexual health, and responsibility.
3.2 We do not allow any form of discrimination against anyone sexual orientation and oppose hetero-normative attitudes.
3.3 We respect people’s gender identity and gender nonconformity. “Gender identity refers to an individual’s internalized psychological experience of being male or female, whereas gender nonconformity refers to the degree to which an individual’s appearance, behavior, interests, and subjective self-concept deviate from conventional norms for masculinity/femininity.”(Lisa M. Diamond et al., Handbook of Child Psychology and Development Science, 7th edition, 2015)
4.1 Use of the hardpoints and rings installed is only allowed after getting explicit consent from the host! If you wish to make use of our hardpoints, we want to be sure you have the required skill set to do so safely. Please ask any of our hosts for permission. Once granted, you are free to use the hardpoints and beams in the future unless we decide otherwise.
4.1 Don’t use the suspension rings as a jungle gym or any other unintended use! We installed the hardpoints specifically for bondage suspension purposes. Using them in any other way might be unsafe for both you and the people around you.
4.3 No neck-ropes in suspension. We do not allow neck-ropes in (partial) suspension like mentioned before (2.5).
5.1 You are only allowed to take pictures of your own work and your own partner (with consent). Taking pictures of (any part) of other people is NOT allowed.
5.2 Please do not use flash photography since this can be very distracting for others.
5.3 Video or audio recordings are only allowed after explicit consent by our organization.

Welcome! We are a bunch of people who connected here in Reykjavik and created Notacool Collective.
We love to share energy and connect with others through the power of dance! Sometimes we find it difficult in crowded bars or clubs, so we decided to organise another party in a park! Everyone is welcome, there is no dress code nor face control, and you can be sure no one will judge your way of dancing, moving or just being.
Details:
LOCATION – RVK 101 – more info soon
TIME – SATURDAY at 18:00 –
ATTN: If the weather sucks – we may move it to Sunday or a week later
MUSIC – techno / techno-ish – more info soon
Thirsty?
We will make sure there is some lemonade and tea available for donation to help people power through the night, so PLZ BRING CASH. All “profit” will go to a radical social space in downtown Reykjavík.
Obviously everybody is invited; just bring your best party attitude, an open-mind and your own dance style, no matter how weird you think it may be (it’s not, we love it).
We will do our best to keep the space safer – more info soon in an event post!

1. General Rules & Etiquette
1.1 Abusive, inappropriate or offensive behavior will not be tolerated and will result in immediate expulsion from the space without refund. The organizers reserve themselves the right to ban people from the space and events if deemed neccessary for keeping a safe space for the community.

1.5 Please clean up after yourself. We want to keep the space clean and free of clutter. Please throw out any trash you create, store your bags/coats/shoes in the designated storage spaces and clear your space of rope after you’re done tying to allow others to make use of the available space.
1.6 No fetish wear or full nudity in the space.
We advise you to wear comfortable clothing while tying.
1.7 Keep your volume at a reasonable level, both while tying and while socializing. We have a special lounge area where you can sit and socialize. The main space is for bondage.

2. Rope Labbing & Play
2.1 Please note that Rope Jams are rope bondage oriented (social) events and are NOT PLAY PARTIES.
2.2 During the Jams we allow both (and differentiate between) rope labbing and rope play sessions. Rope labbing is usually defined as “practicing” what you’ve learned and trying out new stuff. Usually, there is a lot of communication between rope partners and/or with others who are sharing their knowledge and insights. During rope play or a rope session a couple or individual is usually tying patterns and techniques they are skilled at and are usually more intimate.
2.3 Please approach people who are tying with care or perhaps save any remarks (like compliments, etc) until after their session is finished. Observing a session is always allowed, but please keep a respectful distance while doing so.
2.4 Some (traditional) rope related (consensual) play is allowed while tying. Most important to keep in mind is that to not unnecessarily disturb others. Typical play features can include: body manipulation, tying over the (unexposed) genital area, blindfolds, mouth-ropes, constrictions, predicaments or exposure (no full nudity). Please refrain from any extensive impact play, verbal humiliation (since this automatically includes others) and intentionally painful ties to cause screaming.
2.5 Neckropes are only allowed during floor-based sessions (not during suspensions) and only as “play ropes” (not tied of but held in hand) or tied off with a quick release. If you do not have experience with these techniques, don’t include them in your session!
2.6 Wax play is not allowed during our Rope Jams.
2.7 Make sure you practice safe and consensual bondage, don’t take unnecessary risk and only take risks if all participants are aware of the risk and willing to take them. Always keep a safety-shear and/or rescue hook in reach and ask for help in case of any emergency!

3. Sex positivity, sexual orientation and gender identity
3.1 We are proponents of a sex-positive culture. This does not mean that we allow sexual interaction within the venue. It does mean that we believe that the appropriate uses of sex extend beyond reproduction and have a non-judgemental approach to all, explicitly consensual, forms of sexuality. Slut-shaming, prude-shaming, and kink-shaming are highly opposed in our space and we instead strive for body acceptance, overall sexual health, and responsibility.
3.2 We do not allow any form of discrimination against anyone sexual orientation and oppose hetero-normative attitudes.
3.3 We respect people’s gender identity and gender nonconformity. “Gender identity refers to an individual’s internalized psychological experience of being male or female, whereas gender nonconformity refers to the degree to which an individual’s appearance, behavior, interests, and subjective self-concept deviate from conventional norms for masculinity/femininity.”(Lisa M. Diamond et al., Handbook of Child Psychology and Development Science, 7th edition, 2015)

4. Use of hardpoints
4.1 Use of the hardpoints and rings installed is only allowed after getting explicit consent from the host! If you wish to make use of our hardpoints, we want to be sure you have the required skill set to do so safely. Please ask any of our hosts for permission. Once granted, you are free to use the hardpoints and beams in the future unless we decide otherwise.
4.1 Don’t use the suspension rings as a jungle gym or any other unintended use! We installed the hardpoints specifically for bondage suspension purposes. Using them in any other way might be unsafe for both you and the people around you.
4.3 No neck-ropes in suspension. We do not allow neck-ropes in (partial) suspension like mentioned before (2.5).
_____________________________________________________
5. Photography
5.1 You are only allowed to take pictures of your own work and your own partner (with consent). Taking pictures of (any part) of other people is NOT allowed.
5.2 Please do not use flash photography since this can be very distracting for others.
5.3 Video or audio recordings are only allowed after explicit consent by our organization.

No food or drinks in the tying area.

After our General meeting agenda, we offer an event open to everyone called A Talk Between Generations: Trans Women. The event is at Þjóðminjasafnið and starts at 4 PM.
This time, Snædís Yrja Kristjánsdóttir, Kolbrún Mist Pálsdóttir, Svanhvít Ada Sif Björnsdóttir og Elísa Björg Örlygsdóttir Husby, share with us how living as a trans woman in Iceland is and compare the difference between generations. Kamilla Einarsdóttir leads the discussion.
The event is open to everyone. Please note that the event is in Icelandic. The space is fully wheelchair accessible.
Welcome! We are a bunch of people who connected here in Reykjavik and created Notacool Collective.
We love to share energy and connect with others through the power of dance! Sometimes we find it difficult in crowded bars or clubs, so we decided to organise another party in a park! Everyone is welcome, there is no dress code nor face control, and you can be sure no one will judge your way of dancing, moving or just being.
Details:
LOCATION – RVK 101 – more info soon
TIME – SATURDAY at 18:00 –
ATTN: If the weather sucks – we may move it to Sunday or a week later
MUSIC – techno / techno-ish – more info soon
Thirsty?
We will make sure there is some lemonade and tea available for donation to help people power through the night, so PLZ BRING CASH. All “profit” will go to a radical social space in downtown Reykjavík.
Obviously everybody is invited; just bring your best party attitude, an open-mind and your own dance style, no matter how weird you think it may be (it’s not, we love it).
We will do our best to keep the space safer – more info soon in an event post!
