Civil disobedience action outside the World Health Organization headquarters protests against the international silence and inaction against Turkey’s crimes in Kurdistan.
Dozens of Kurdish and internationalist activists have started a civil disobedience action outside the headquarters of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva protesting the international silence towards the Turkish chemical attacks against the guerrilla troops.
While more than 40 activists entered the building, the rest remained in front of the building to support them. The action continues.
Protests continue increasingly following the latest reports on the intensified use of chemical weapons by the Turkish army in Kurdistan. Kurds and their friends have been taking to the streets all around the world to denounce the invading Turkish state's crimes against the guerrilla forces in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) in the wake of the images published by ANF on October 18, showing two PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) members suffering from a chemical attack in Iraq's Kurdistan Region.
The main demand of the worldwide protests is an independent investigation by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) in the face of the repeatedly exposed but persistently ignored images and reports from the ground.
