Mannheim-Strasbourg march continues towards Rastatt on the fourth day

The Long March started by Kurdish youth from Mannheim to Strasbourg continues towards Rastatt.

The Long March that began in Mannheim, Germany on February 5 with the slogan of ‘Liberate’ continues in its fourth day. Kurdish youth marched for 26 kms to reach Karlsruhe yesterday evening.

The demonstrators joining the march also organized a memorial event at the Democratic Kurdish Society Center for Mehmet Tunç and other martyrs of the self-governance resistance in Cizre yesterday. The youth were put up by Kurdish patriotic families here last night and they launched the fourth day of the march from Marktplatz, Karlsruhe singing the Kurdish anthem Çerxa Şoreşê.

The youth’s goal for today is to march for 30 kms and reach Rastatt.

"WE WILL RESPOND TO ALL ATTACKS WITH SELF-DEFENSE"

Meanwhile, in a video published on the Facebook page of UETD Karlsruhe shows Turkish fascist groups threatening to attack the Kurdish youth in Rastatt.

UETD Karlsruhe, the planner of the attack and the AKP regime’s lobby group in Germany, calls upon fascist groups to use violence. The police stated that they are prepared for a possible attack.

The organization committee condemned UETD, stated that participants of the march would respond to all attacks with self-defense, and said “The AKP wants to suppress the democratic rights of Kurdish people in Europe with a fascist mentality.”
