IRAQI KURDISTAN: April Update

in:

In the regional capitol of Erbil/Hawler, the team conducted an action at the entrance to KRG Parliament facilities with banners, posters, and a flyer with a message and a photo of Internally Displaced Persons in the riverbed camp they were forced into last spring.  At the Turkish and Iranian consulates, also in Erbil/Hawler, the team explained that suspending attacks on villages for the entire year would be a courageous and compassionate response by powerful governments to the challenges they recognize in the continuing struggle to secure their national sovereignty.

Kurdish MPs were reminded that "Iranian shelling destroys village life" and "Turkish bombing murders people" and encouraged nonviolently to take action to protect their people
