COMMUNIST PARTY: INJUSTICE IS THE CAUSE OF MIGRATION
In the meantime, the Kurdistan Communist Party held a demonstration in Hewlêr (Erbil) to express their concerns over the migration from the region.
A statement was read out by Raber Mexdîd, head of the youth wing of the party’s Hewler branch.
“The lives of migrants at the Polish-Belarusian border are in huge jeopardy because of the cold weather and hunger. We call on the United Nations and other international organizations to fulfil their responsibilities and address the precarious conditions of the migrants,” the statement said.
The statement added that the erosion of freedoms and lack of justice, basic services and job opportunities are the reasons for migration.
