Kurdish community in the UK condemn the brutal act of oppression by the Iranian regime against the uprising of the Kurds in Iran and urge the British government to consider the violation of human rights in Iranian Kurdistan. Kurds in Europe are organising activities to ask their governments and international community for urgent actions to stop the violent treatment of the Kurdish people in Iran.
Amnesty International has asked for ‘an urgent investigation into the killing of demonstrators’ in the Kurdish towns and cities in Iran. According to the Kurdish Human Rights Project in the UK the Iranian regime is using ‘excessive force’ against the Kurdish protestors and ‘has implemented de-facto martial law in many areas’.
Kurdish people in Iran demand their national and political rights, but the Islamic Republic of Iran subjects them to brutal oppression. In the last month, regime’s forces have killed at least 30 and wounded and imprisoned hundreds of the Kurdish men and women activists.
In support of the Kurds in Iran and to condemn the Iranian regime’s act of violence, Kurdish community in the UK will gather in front of the number 10 Downing Street. They will urge the British government to condemn the Iranian regime for the violation of human rights and to take urgent diplomatic and international measures to stop the atrocities committed against the Kurds in Iran. There will be short speeches in Kurdish and English and a petition will be presented to Tony Blaire’s office.
Date and Time: Friday 19 August 2005 4-6pm
Place: Downing Street, London SW1 (nearest tube station: Charing Cross or Westminster)

Funny, you never mention Turkey.
No chance of U.S. bombing or invading them, I guess.
But Iran, yeah, you'd love to see that turned into another jihadi training camp, like Iraq.
