An action will be held in Stockholm on Saturday 9 July to protest the agreement between NATO and Turkey regarding the membership of Finland and Sweden.

Solidarity groups and Kurds residents in Sweden will meet at Nora Bantorget square at 1.30 pm.

Background

On 28 June, Turkey signed a trilateral memorandum with Finland and Sweden - reportedly with US intervention - which would ban the Scandinavian countries from supporting the YPG or PYD party.

The PYD is the largest single party within the Syrian Democratic Council, the main diplomatic body of North East Syria.
