Join us at 2pm in Parliament Square, central London
The siege on Kobane, Rojava, has reached its 26th day. Fierce clashes continue on three fronts and thousands of civilians are still facing a massacre. All the while Turkey watches on from the border, in further proof of Ankara’s cooperation with ISIS to advance its own political aim of defeating the Kurds. In deference to Turkey and to advance their own cynical objectives, the Western powers have totally disregarded the Kurdish people’s appeal for help. Nonetheless, the YPG and YPJ battle ISIS fighters in a incredible and historic resistance. The Kurdish people have risen up across Turkey and in hundreds of European cities – even in the face of violence and brutality from state police and ISIS supporters – and will not stop until the world wakes up to what is happening.
We must stand together for Kobane! We must support the resistance of the YPG and YPJ! Join us at 2pm in Parliament Square to show the world that Kobane is NOT alone!
