Kurds and their supporters in French capital Paris started a sit-in demonstration at the Republique Square demanding freedom for Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan Friday evening.

Hundreds of people are joining the sit-in at the Square where demonstrators are holding speeches and distributing leaflets about the isolation of Öcalan. A banner unfurled at the Square reads "Turkish army has invaded Jarablus".

The demo will last till 15:00 Saturday afternoon after which the mass will stage a march at Bastille Square.
