Preparations for the Paris march continue

Preparations are underway for the march to be staged in Paris for the victims of the massacres on 9 January 2013 and 23 December 2022,

On 9 January 2013, Sakine Cansız, one of the founders of the PKK, Fidan Doğan, the KNK representative in Paris, and Leyla Şaylemez, a member of the youth movement, were murdered by the Turkish intelligence service MIT in Paris. On the tenth anniversary of this massacre, another massacre was carried out on 23 December 2022, claiming the lives of Emine Kara (Evîn Goyî), member of the Executive Council of the KCK, Mîr Perwer (Mehmet Şirin Aydın) from the Kurdish cultural movement and long-time activist Abdurrahman Kızıl in front of the Ahmet Kaya Cultural Center in the French capital. Kurds and their companions will take to the streets in Paris on 6 January 2024 to protest against the two massacres and the ongoing impunity.

Preparations for the central march in Paris are underway.

Visits to houses and shops, public meetings, poster and sticker work that started days before in Drancy, Ville Le Belle, Grigny, Evry and the centre of Paris continued today. In all Paris suburbs, a call was made for participation in the march at Paris Gare Du Nord with an advertising car for the murdered.

The car, which traveled around Paris and its suburbs for about 12 hours, screened the photos and stories of the Kurdish martyrs and highlighted the slogan "Justice for Kurds".

In the information videos, which also highlight the fact that the first massacre has still not been clarified ten years, the public was asked to participate in the march on 6 January in order to lift the "state secret" and prevent new massacres.

"On 6 January, we, as Kurds and their friends, will show our organised power. We will eliminate the state secret and the plans behind these murders," the Organising Committee said in a statement.
