Activists in Berlin organise sport competitions in solidarity with Maxmur Camp

Boxing, Muay Thai and K1 competitions were held in Berlin to support the Maxmur Refugee Camp.

The organization called THIRTYSIX FIGHTS, which promotes martial arts, has launched a campaign in Berlin to support Martyr Rüstem Cudi (Maxmur) Refugee Camp, which is under the pressure of the Turkish state's attacks, the KDP and the Iraqi state. Competitions were held in different sports branches. Within the scope of the first set of events, 10 fights were held in Box, Muay Thai and K1 branches, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Rojava Revolution.

Representatives of Civaka Azad, Hope for Kurdistan, Peace and Justice Association and Rheinmetall Disarmament Initiative spoke at the event.

Speaking on behalf of Civaka Azad, Renas Afrin focused on the Turkish state's invasion attacks in Kurdistan and the resistance carried out by the Kurdistan freedom guerrillas. “We used to say that the only friends of Kurds are the mountains. Now, when we look at this hall, we see that we have many friends. When we look at the Internationals in the Rojava resistance, we see that we have many friends. We want wars to end. But we must be realistic. The Turkish state is occupying our land and this war will not end soon. The Turkish state is using chemical gas against the guerrillas. We want you to take action against it."

The Hope, Peace and Justice Association for Kurdistan representative spoke about the history of the Maxmur refugee camp and the attacks carried out by the Turkish state against Maxmur.
