Youth organisations call for participation in Hanover demo

Under the motto "Stop the attack on our existence. End the Turkish occupation in Kurdistan" the youth organisations JCA and TCŞ will stage a demonstration in Hanover.

The Kurdish youth organisations JCA and TCŞ call for a demonstration in Hanover city of Germany. The event with the motto "Stop the attack on our existence. End the Turkish occupation in Kurdistan" starts on Saturday at 14 o'clock in front of the main station.

The reason for the demonstration is the continuing war in Kurdistan, the war crimes and the occupation of Turkey in Northern Syria/Rojava, which is against international law.

In its war, Turkey relies on the help of jihadist forces, the participation in the war of the South Kurdistan ruling party KDP and the aid of European states. The appeal for a youth demonstration says: "Domestically, Turkey is waging a war of annihilation against the Kurdish civilian population and is also carrying out this war in parliament by having members and parliamentarians of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) arrested and tortured almost every day. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of political prisoners in Turkish prisons are exposed to the threat of the Coronavirus pandemic.”

Young people are calling for the Member States of the European Union to end their silence and to assume their responsibilities towards Turkey and its actions.

The youth organisations call on all democratic, solidarity and progressive groups to participate in their demonstration.
