With Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan entering his 25th year of imprisonment and Turkey escalating its war of aggression against North-East Syria, we call on people and organizations in the United States to join us in support of the International Freedom for Öcalan Campaign. Öcalan’s imprisonment, enabled by the US government’s ongoing political and military support for Turkey, is a major obstacle to peace in the Middle East. The time has come to #FreeOcalan and to end Turkey’s ongoing war against Kurds and the peoples of North-East Syria.
Join us in Washington DC for a public demonstration in front of the White House (on Pennsylvania Ave NW) on Thursday, February 15th, at 2pm.
In addition to the Emergency Committee for Rojava, event co-sponsors include Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America, Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA), Armenian Organized Resistance (ARMOR), Horizon Federation, and MACC
