Activists from the Kurdish Revolutionary Youth Movement (TCŞ) took to the streets in Marignane, France in protest at the Turkish state’s genocidal attacks on southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).

Gathering at the Marignane Square, the activists unfurled banners in which they called on European states not to be accomplice to Turkey’s massacre of the Kurds. They also displayed posters of Kurdish people’s leader Abdullah Öcalan and flags of the PKK, YPG and YPJ.

The protest march continued to the City Hall where a rally was held. The crowd remembered all the martyrs of revolution in the person of the three women killed in a recent airstrike of the Turkish army in a village of Kobanê and civilians murdered by Turkish attacks in South Kurdistan.

The slogans chanted by the demonstrators included “Fascism will be buried in Kurdistan”, “Terrorist Erdoğan” and “Murderer Erdoğan”.
