Refugee children call for international action for safe return

Refugee children residing in the Girê Spi Refugee Camp called on international human rights organizations to stop the colonial project of the Turkish state and secure a safe return for displaced locals.

Hundreds of children in the Girê Spi Refugee Camp gathered together to condemn the demographic change policy pursued by the Turkish state.

Iyad El-Hemed, a member of the Girê Spi Refugee Camp Education Committee, delivered a speech on behalf of the children.

El-Hemed called on international human rights organizations to stop Turkey’s colonial project and demanded the safe return of thousands of refugees displaced by Turkey to their homelands.

El-Hemed stated that the Turkish state and its mercenaries are responsible for jeopardizing the future of tens of thousands of children who are deprived of their right to education and a safe life due to the invasion attacks. He called on the international community and the Arab League to put pressure on Turkey to stop its plans for a demographic change.
