The Revolutionary Youth Movement in Britain started a 3-day march in London with the slogan 'Freedom for Leader Apo' on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan being brought to Turkey by an international conspiracy.
Kurds and their friends are protesting worldwide on the 25th anniversary of the international conspiracy against Abdullah Öcalan, which led to his abduction from Kenya and handover to Turkey on 15 February 1999.
Kurdish activists started a 3-day march from north to south of London on Friday under the leadership of the Revolutionary Youth Movement (TCŞ) in Britain.
A large number of TCŞ members participated in the demonstration that started in Action Town in south London, carrying banners and placards with the photo of Abdullah Öcalan and the now global demand for his freedom. The demonstration started with dance and slogans such as "Free Kurdistan", "Down with the conspiratorial forces", "Free Öcalan, free Kurdistan", "Bijî Serok Apo".
The demonstration was dedicated to the international campaign "Freedom for Öcalan and peaceful solution to the Kurdish problem" launched across the globe on October 10.
The march attracted great interest throughout the city's touristic and busy streets and squares as activists distributed leaflets about the conditions of the Kurdish leader who is being held in total isolation.
Along with the long march, a group from the Kurdish People's Assembly started a 3-day hunger strike. Hunger strikers also took part in the long march. In the event where songs were sung and halay was danced during the breaks, women added color to the action with their dances.
The first day of the demonstration will end at Trafalgar Square.
The long march started by young people will end in front of Dalston Public House on February 18. A march and rally will be organized by the Kurdish People's Assembly on the same day.
