Vigil in Loerrach
The Lörrach Peace Initiative is calling for a vigil on Easter Saturday at 11 a.m. on the Old Market Square. Under the motto “Peace for Ukraine – No Further Armament”, the re-established initiative condemns Russia’s war as a breach of international law. In addition to thousands of dead and injured and millions of people fleeing, there is still the danger of a nuclear war.
