200,000 Demonstrate In Bonn

     On Saturday, June 17, supporters of the Kurdish national
liberation movement organized the biggest demonstration ever in
support of a political solution to the dirty war in Kurdistan. The
march was held in Bonn, Germany and 200,000 people took part. There
were ERNK flags and huge pictures of Abdullah Ocalan everywhere
(despite being banned in Germany) as people chanted "Biji PKK!" and
"Long Live International Solidarity!". In addition to Kurdish
groups in Europe, the demonstration was also supported by various
progressive and socialist organizations, and even some European MPs
joined in. The demonstration was a clear sign to the world that
Turkey must be called upon to stop its dirty war against the
Kurdish people. Also, any political solution to this question must
involve the representatives of the Kurdish liberation movement. In
the words of one German police official: "The PKK cannot be
stopped."

Freedom for Kurdistan!
