Kurds in Europe took to the streets today in many European cities.

DUISBURG

An action was organized by the Democratic Kurdish Community Center in Duisburg, Germany, in Neu Markt Paltz with the slogan 'Don't touch my will, Kurdistan cannot breathe'.

PKK Central Committee Member Kasım Engin, who fell martyr on 27 May, was commemorated during the action which also protested the attacks against Zînî Wertê in South Kurdistan and the seizure of 5 HDP-run municipalities.

'Invader attacks deepening'

Speaking at the rally, FED-MED co-chair Engin Sever said: "The colonial Turkish state continues its attacks against South Kurdistan. The occupation is deepened not just by the attacks but also by the police stations and intelligence centers established in dozens of different locations.”

Emphasizing that the Turkish state tries to generate conflict between the Kurds, Sever said: "Kasım Engin struggled his entire life to improve the freedom-equality of the people of Kurdistan and the region. He struggled with great self-sacrifice for his people's freedom and unity.”

The rally saw the participation of over 500 Kurds and friends who marched to the city hall.

The genocidal attacks of the Turkish state were also protested in Osnabrück, Germany.

In the declaration read at the end of the protest, it was pointed out that the Turkish state did not know any limits to hostility to Kurds during the epidemic period.
