KURDISH DEMONSTRATION IN LONDON
On Saturday 26/7/2003 from 12 to 3 pm the Kurdish
community in the UK organised a demonstration in front
of the Syrian embassy in London. Several organisations,
Kurdish personalities and their friends participated in
solidarity with the struggle of the Kurdish people in their
homeland and in support to the peaceful Kurdish
demonstrations that took place on 25/6/2003 in Damascus
and on 30/6/2003 in Aleppo that resulted in the arrest of
dozens and several Kurdish children injured.
The demonstrators expressed their solidarity by raising
the flag of Kurdistan and shouting and written banners
in English, Arabic and Kurdish such as:
- Independence and freedom for the Kurds in the
Western Kurdistan annexed by Syria.
- Racist and terrorist Syrian regime, get out of Kurdistan.
- Freedom for the Kurdish political prisoners.
- Shame for the 21st century that Kurds are still in
slavery and Kurdistan is colonised.
- Asad = Terrorism.
- Kurdistan for the Kurds.
The demonstrators expressed their feelings to condemn
the oppressive inhumane practices of the racist Syrian
regime against the Kurdish people and the Syrian people
by using Kurdish traditional music instruments and dances
and simultaneous whistling that created an unusual noise
in the streets of London.
