A protest was held in Bremen on the anniversary of the Shengal genocide.

The action was held in front of the Bremen main station and started with a minute's silence in memory of those who lost their lives in Shengal during the massacre carried out by ISIS on 3 August 2014.

Speaking at the event, Cercur Cemil from the European Yazidis Coordination said that 5,000 Kurds with the Yazidi faith were massacred, 100,000 people are still forced to live in camps under difficult conditions, some 7,000 people were abducted and disappeared, more than 400,000 people were displaced. He pointed out that some 2,800 Yazidi women and girls are still missing.

Cemil said that despite the Belgian and Dutch parliaments' recognition of the massacre as a crime against humanity, Germany, where the largest Yazidi population lives, is implementing a blind and deaf policy. "The German state must fulfill its responsibility respecting its own constitution."

Cemil said that the Shengal Autonomous Administration should be recognized and strengthened so that massacres do not happen again and called on Kurdish lawyers, activists, politicians and democratic mass organizations living in Europe to take all initiatives to allow the people of Shengal to protect themselves, and said that the Turkish state, the mercenaries and partners involved in the massacre should be tried in international courts.
