Long March has begun
Long March has begun
The Siberian cold has not stop Kurds from beginning their Long March for Freedom today. Hundreds turned up in Geneva despite the low temperature and the snow. Artists as well as Kurds in the diaspora and politicians are taking part to the march.
KOM-KURD is organizing the march. "By beginning our march on 31st January - say the organizers - from the United Nation office in Geneva, we express our demand for freedom for which we have paid enormous sacrifices but have never abandoned and demand the UN to fulfill their responsibility towards the Kurdish people and recognise them as a people".
The march is expected to reach Strasbourg on the 18 of February. "In Strasbourg - say the organizers - we will highlight the living conditions of the Kurdish leader Mr Abdullah Ocalan, who is critical to the solution of the Kurdish question, and emphasise the fact that the freedom of the Kurdish people is aslo dependent on the freedom of Mr Ocalan and call upon the EC and CPT to fulfill their duties".
