For several days now,
members of the Turkish security forces have attacked
the Kurdish civilians across Northern Kurdistan
(Turkey). So far, eight have been killed, three of
whom children.
While the Prime Minister of Turkey has accused the
Kurdish mothers for the death of their children --
using a convoluted logic saying that they should not
have sent their children to the streets -- the
Kurdish press accounts note that at least one of the
toddlers, the three-year old one, was murdered on
the balcony of his house while observing the
demonstrations in the city of Batman, Kurdistan.
"The Turkish crackdown shows no sign of recession,
as has the Kurdish response to it across Kurdistan
as well as Turkey proper and various European
capitals," said Kani Xulam, director of the American
Kurdish Information Network. "We are holding a
daylong vigil to honor the Kurdish dead as well as
stand up in solidarity with our brothers and sisters
across the globe. Please make plans to join us."
