The fascist Turkish state executed 12 Kurdish youths in the city of Van on Sunday 10th January. 11 of the youths were shot in the head. Their bodies were then carried to a field near their house to give the impression that they died in a shootout. Turkish state terror is continuing across North Kurdistan as towns are being held under curfew and siege by the Turkish military and police.

They are not allowing Kurds to bury those killed; over 50 bodies are being kept in morgues, in homes and on streets. So far at least 162 civilians have been killed according to human rights organisations. We must stop this brutality. We as the Kurds in the UK and our friends must not remain silent against this massacre.
