Young people made a statement in Bordeaux on Wednesday night demanding freedom for Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan. The action was organised at the Grand Theatre and was part of the "Werin Cenga Azadiyê" campaign promoted by Tevgera Ciwanên Şoreşger (TCŞ) and Jinên Ciwan ên Tekoşer (TekoJIN) young activists.

The young activists unfurled banners with pictures of Abdullah Öcalan and PKK flags during the protest.

The statement reads: “TCŞ and TekoJIN activists condemn the systematic and aggravated isolation of Leader Abdullah Öcalan and emphasize that NATO states, which are partners in the conspiracy, act and do what is necessary. It is time to ensure the freedom of our Leader. As youth organizations, we call on our patriotic people and their friends, to take the struggle to the streets.”
