More than 500 Kurds march peacefully 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.
