Long march in Sweden is on day two

Kurds are organising three-day marches in European cities to mark the 20th anniversary of February 15 international conspiracy against Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan.

The long march launched in the Swedish city of Stockholm to protest the international conspiracy against Ocalan, continues on the second day.

The long march is aimed at condemning the February 15 conspiracy against Kurdis People’s Leader Abdullah Ocalan. Kurds and their friends in Sweden gathered in front of the Rålambshov Park at 11 am, chanted ‘Let’s break the isolation, defeat fascism, and free Kurdistan,’ and then started the second day of the march.

The demonstrators are carrying posters of Abdullah Ocalan, Leyla Guven and other hunger strikers in Kurdistan and abroad. They sing in Kurdish and condemn the state of Turkey through loud slogans.

During the protest, several speeches have been delivered about Ocalan and the February 15 conspiracy.

Assyrian and Syriac communities’ call against the isolation

There are also Assyrian and Syriac representatives and individuals who have joined the march in Sweden. Yaşar Kuçukaslan spoke to the ANF on behalf of the Mesopotamian Freedom Party and stated that the isolation was part of Turkish state’s war policies, and it was not only against the Kurdish people, but against all oppressed peoples.

Kuçukaslan urged the Assyrian, Syriac and Chaldean people to join the demonstrations, and step up the struggle against the fascism of AKP-MHP.

The activists will march through Stockholm’s most crowded streets, and hold a rally at Norrmalmstorg Square at 5 pm today afternoon.
