Alleged use of chemical weapons to land at Swedish parliament
A demonstration was staged in Sweden’s capital city Stockholm to protest the murder of 35 guerrillas allegedly by chemical weapons used by the Turkish army. Left Party MP Amineh Kakabaveh remarked that he would carry the alleged use of chemical weapons onto the Swedish Parliament.
Gathering at Sergel Square, around 350 people protested against the military operations and alleged use of chemical weapons. Demonstrators carried the photos of 35 guerrillas who lost their life between October 22-24. A candle was lit in front of each photograph and a black cloth was hanged in the area with 35 red carnations.
Making the first speech on behalf of CDK after one minute's silence for 35 guerrillas and revolution martyrs, Mahir Dicle stated that chemical weapons can’t prevent the fair fight of the Kurdish people.
Swedish Kurdish Council President Ayþe Göktepe reminded the use of chemical weapons by the Turkish army against Kurdish guerrillas in previous times and demanded an investigation of the attack by the United Nations and the Swedish Government.
The Kurdish Council also made a press statement and reminded of the Human Rights Association (IHD) Diyarbakýr Branch’s report which stated that 437 guerrillas had lost their lives in 39 separate military operations between 1994 and 2011 as a result of the chemical weapons used by the Turkish state.
The statement demanded that the European Union and the Swedish Government step in the process against the use of chemicals by the Turkish state which accedes to the agreement that acknowledges the prohibition of chemical weapons.
Left Party MP Amineh Kakabaveh who carried the subject onto the agenda of the Swedish Parliament earlier stated that he would once again bring the issue to the agenda since the use of chemical weapons is a war crime.
