Alwaght- A large number of people poured into the streets of Britain’s capital to show their resentment at the Ankara’s military operation against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) which imposes agonies on the Kurdish minority both in Turkey and beyond its borders.
The protest, organized by an activist group known as Stop War on Kurds, took place in central London on Sunday. People gathered at BBC Broadcasting House and then left for Trafalgar Square to start the rally, According to RT.
The crowd was a mixture of both Kurds and non-Kurdish supporters.
People were seen carrying banners that read “Stop Turkish State’s War on Kurds”, “Break the Silence on Kurds” and “ISIS Made in Turkey.”
Protesters also called for the UK government to criminalize the Kurdish Liberation Movement since it “creates serious barriers and difficulties in the search for a peaceful, political settlement.”
Since Ankara got involved in Syrian crisis and began to interfere with the Syrian people will to decide upon their future, it also adopted a tough policy toward Kurds.
Last month Turkish military have allegedly burned about 150 Kurds alive who had been trapped in basements of different buildings, in the mainly Kurdish town of Cizre in Turkey's southeast last month.
