Kurds got together at the Geneva central train station on Sunday night following a call to protest issued by TCŞ (Tewgera Ciwanên Şoreşger) and TekoJIN (Jinen Ciwanên Tekoşer) and made a statement about the racist attack that took place in the Belgian city of Leuven.

TCŞ member Botan Cizîr said: "As you know, there was an attack on a Kurdish family who returned from the Newroz celebrations. Turkish racist fascists attacked this Kurdish family. Just as they burned our people and families in the basements of Cizre, they also tried to burn our families in the attack attempt in Belgium. We strongly condemn this despicable attack. As TCŞ Geneva young people, we condemn this attack, and we call on everyone to protect our people."

The action ended with a march.
