On the occasion of the anniversary of the annexation of the city of Gossau to the canton of St Gallen, a stand was opened by the St Gallen Democratic Kurdish Community Center (CDK-SG) at the 3-day '1200 Jahre Gossau' festival.

The books of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan were presented at the stand.

During the festival, signatures were collected and leaflets were distributed within the scope of the letter campaign launched by the European Kurdish Women's Movement (TJK-E) to the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) to protest the torture and genocide system in Imrali.

In addition to the food stand featuring delicacies from Kurdish cuisine, the choir that continues its work within CDK-SG took the stage and sang Kurdish melodies.
