Come on the protest!
Against the Genocide of the Yazidis
Against the Bloodthirsty Forces of IS
Against Fascism and Racism
Take part in our rally outside Downing Street on Friday, 22nd. August, 2014
Time: 6PM to 8PM
Support our demands:
-
Immediate steps and actions must be taken to help all those who are displaced, regardless of their ethnic or religious background. The Yezidis, in particular, are most desperately in need of such help.
-
The countries which have supported the IS financially and militarily should be condemned and held responsible.
-
The ruling parties across Iraq propagate racist and ethnocentric sentiments among the people, causing tension between Arabs and Kurds, as well as Sunni and Shiites. This is catastrophic and has brought about high levels of ethno-sectarian hatred in Iraq and Kurdistan. Pressure should be exerted on the political parties to stop this.
-
Any activities and demonstrations by IS supporters must be organised against by the trade unions, community groups and political organisations. What they do does not constitute freedom of political thought; they advocate hatred and killing. Tolerating these groups may create circumstances for other racist groups to flourish and spread hostility towards people from Muslim backgrounds.
We hope that the EU will register our concern on the matter and act against any and all forms of racist and sectarian attacks and incitement.
The rally is organised by Worker-communist Party of Kurdistan, UK organisation, in alliance with parties in Iraq, Iran and UK.
