On 31 March 2005 the
Syrian dictatorial president Assad released 312
Kurds from prison. The Kurds, who were released
after President Bashar al-Assad's decision, took
part in the clashes with Arabs. This despite that
Arabs provoked the Kurds and started the fight,
there were no Arabs arrested or tortured like the
Kurds were.
Kurds thanked Assad for this minor decision, they
wanted all political detainees to be freed. The
released Kurds being freed from Syrian oppression in
prison, were welcomed by thousands of Kurds shouting
KURDISTAN KURDISTAN. In West-Kurdistan (Syrian
Kurds) thousands Kurds are stateless and Kurdish
culture is forbidden.
Unrest in North-Kurdistan
Six killed were killed in riots in Colemerg (Hakkari),
North-Kurdistan (15 November 2005). At least 16 were
as clashes broke out between Kurdish protestors and
Turkish police forces.
Kurds protest against Syria
On 17 March 2004 thousands Kurds poured into the
streets of Hewler to protest the attacks against
Kurds in Qamishlo. They showed a remarkable sense of
unity of the Kurdish nation.
The sea of protestors carried thousands of Kurdish
flags. The protestors were blocked by security
forces while they were marching to the UN
headquarter.
The marchers carried banners written on "Kurdistan
is one. Qamihslo turned into Halabja." amid slogans
of "Bassar Assad Stop the massacre against Kurds."
"They are trying to massacre us as they did in
Halabja. We are protesting this. said a
physically-handicapped protestors who carried a
Kurdish flag around his neck.
"I want to call Syrian President Bassar Assad from
here. Let all the world here our voice. Let such
incidents not to be occurred. Let's live in peace."
said another Kurdish protestor, Ahmed Salih, while
speaking in Turkish language.
Angry Kurdish protestors trampled a Syrian flag
under their feet to show their discomfort with the
Syrian dictator regime.
Burial of Sheikh Mahmud Khaznawi
In Qamishlo, West-Kurdistan, a protest march was
held in may 2005 against the murder of Sheikh
Mohammed Mashuq Khaznawi, a 48-year-old Kurdish imam
and Islamic scholar who has been killed by Syrian
Baathist forces. In this march two Kurds died and
one Syrian officer was shot.
