Kurdish activists are giving a new impulse to the collection of signatures in the petition to remove the PKK from the list of terrorist organisations. Signatures were collected in Montpellier on Sunday.

Organised by the Montpellier Democratic Kurdish Community Center, the signature stand was opened in Comedy Square.

The stand was decorated with Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan's poster and PKK banners.

A large number of French citizens came and signed the petition.

The Kurdish youth of Montpellier, who also collected signatures from their Kurdish friends, also organised a dance performance until late at night.
