MONTREAL — Hundreds marched in Toronto Sept. 5 (above) and again on Sept. 12 denouncing the Turkish government’s brutal attacks on Kurds.
A spirited crowd of 200 also marched here Sept. 12. “We are carrying candles to show light for Kurdistan,” Nuran Cefin told the Militant in Montreal. “Every country is turning a blind eye to the repression. Many are getting hurt or killed. We are fighting for humanity, not just for Kurds, for Arabs, everyone.” Beverly Bernardo, Communist League candidate in the Papineau riding here in the Oct. 19 federal elections for Parliament, and her supporters took part in the action. “My campaign demands that Ottawa end its complicity in the Turkish bombing of the Kurds and supports the Kurdish people’s fight for their national rights and a homeland,” Bernardo told participants. |
