Kurds in Ireland protest against assassination of Mish’al at-Tammo

Kurdish community in Ireland protested against the assassination of the Kurdish prominent politicians Mish'al at-Tammo by the agents of Syrian government on last Friday.
The protest was held outside of the European Union House. Slogans were chanted in support of Mish’al at-Tammo and the Kurdish resistance movement.
This is not the first time that the Kurdish people and their representatives are targeted by the occupying powers of Kurdistan. The history of Kurdish people has witnessed countless instances of killing, murder, and slaughters.
Since the division of Kurdistan between the oppressive states of Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq the Kurdish people have always been subjected to the colonialist rules of these aggressive regimes.
The Western powers that played important role in the division of Kurdistan are preoccupied with developing their own economic interests and enhancing their political position in the region; they never happened to break their silence in the face of such atrocities wreaked upon the Kurds.
Kurdish people in Syria are treated like refugees in their homeland as they are denied Syrian citizenship. Some Kurds are even unable to obtain travel document. The Kurds are not allowed to marry Syrian woman and if they do so their marriage is not legally recognized. Kurdish people have no access to private property and can’t own land, housing or business.
Mish’al at-Tammo was resisting such oppressive policies and fighting for the right of Kurdish people in Syria but he was assassinated by the agents of Syrian government.
Kurdish community in Ireland condemned his assassination in the strongest possible manners and calls upon the European Union to stop staying silent in the face of the massacre of the Kurdish people by the occupying powers of Kurdistan.
