Protestors of “Freedom for Öcalan, status for Kurdistan” titled march attended a panel discussion in Rathhalle city of Swiss at the night of February 4.
During the panel which was attended by writers, politicians, academicians as well as civilians, panelists called attention to the recent political developments in Kurdistan, AKP’s policies and purposes, the silence of Europe about the political genocide movement and the isolation of PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan. Panelists stated that; “This march presents the will of the Kurdish people against all these practices”.
