In Vienna the demonstration was held at the Westbahnhof-Christian-Broda-Platz, promoted by the Austrian Democracy Platform. Kurds and their friends opened posters with photos of prisoner politicians.

Speaking at the rally, the co-chair of the Austrian Democratic Kurdish Community Council read a letter from the dismissed HDP mayors of Amed, Mardin and Van to the mayors of European capitals.

Former deputy of the Austrian Green Party, Berivan Aslan said that there is a continuation of the unlawful practices of appointing trustees and these are unacceptable. Aslan said that Europe should take a clear attitude against the repression carried out by the Erdoğan regime.

'Solidarity with Political Refugees Association' president, Michael Genner, stressed that they support the Kurdish people's struggle against the practices of the fascist AKP regime and that they will not leave the Kurds alone.

He also referred to the scandalous decisions of the Austrian State regarding political Kurdish refugees and called for Austrian institutions to stop approaching Kurds with the Turkish state's approach.

Finally, Xalis Sever, co-chair of the Austrian Democratic Kurdish Community Assembly, said that they will continue to be in the streets to protest against the fascist practices of the AKP-MHP regime.
