London, UK. 4th November 2016. More than 500 Kurds sit down briefly in Parliament Square on a peaceful march through London to protest noisily at the Turkish embassy after the arrest early today of the two leaders of Turkey’s pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic party (HDP), along with at least 11 MPs. They see it as an attempt by the government and Prime Minister Erdogan to eradicate democracy in Turkey. Kurds say the Turkish state has been increasing attacks on Kurds since the failed coup attempt, and say the latest action is prompted by the success of Kurdish forces in attacking ISIS (Daesh) which they say is supported by Erdogan.
