German activists in solidarity with Rojava

Remarking that people still die by German weapons all around the world, including Rojava, activists demanded an end to the production and delivery of weapons and the cooperation with the Turkish regime.

Currently, the Chaos Communication Congress (#35c3) is taking place in Leipzig, Germany. Yearly, hackers, activists and enthusiasts gather to address various topics related to computers, hacking, technology and politics. While the main crowd is coming from Germany, the C3 attracts people from many countries. Therefore, more then 15,000 people discuss, tinker and hack together during this four-day event.

Yesterday, a group of people met spontaneously to express their solidarity with the democratic forces of Rojava. They painted a banner and went through the big hall full of people to raise awareness for the situation of the people of Rojava. They especially criticized the (military) cooperation between the NATO partners Germany and Turkey.

This intervention was well-received and the banner is still hanging in the entrance hall of the congress today.
