The Kurdish youth organizations TCŞ and TekoJIN are calling for participation in a demonstration for freedom for Abdullah Öcalan. The NRW-wide event under the slogan "In the year of success - take part in the struggle for freedom" is to take place in Duisburg on April 2, the organizing committee announced on Sunday. In addition to the local groups of TCŞ and TekoJIN in Duisburg, young people from cities such as Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Bochum and Münster will also participate in the demonstration.

"Our goal is the physical freedom of Abdullah Öcalan. We will be on the streets of Duisburg on April 2 for this demand," a spokeswoman for the organizing committee told ANF. “The current phase is marked by the desire to demand accountability of the Turkish state, which is acting in a fascist and genocidal" manner. We want to make it known that the Kurdish youth movement will oppose isolation, occupation and fascism in Kurdistan everywhere. We call on like-minded people and people in solidarity to join the demonstration," the activist said.

The youth demonstration in Duisburg will begin on April 2, next Saturday, at 15:00. The starting point is the Duisburg main station.
