With special thanks to @iidaest for expert comment and input on how EU security and financial interests align with Turkish authoritarianism - and to Mark Campbell @hevallo, awaiting trial on terror charges for holding a flag at a demo in London, for sharing his experience:
I luckily just purchased my ticket for the Turkey and Syria Fundraiser for victims and survivors of the devastating earthquake. Our very own @SunaAlan12 & @cigdem_aslan will be performing. Book quickly to avoid disappointment. #TwitterKurds

The @metpoliceuk have brutalised the Kurdish Community in the UK over a period of decades simply to keep Turkey, one of the world's worst human rights abusers happy. Perhaps Mark Rowley can begin by apologising to the Kurdish Community!!?
"In Turkey, the way forward against populism is not to retreat to old tactics. After numerous setbacks over the last two decades, Turkey’s opposition have taken up the banner of pluralism against populism: embracing diversity, inclusivity, and dialogue."

16th March 1988. Halabja Massacre. The largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history killing more than 5,000 Kurds & injuring 10,000 more. The attack was part of a genocidal policy against the Kurds by Saddam Hussein.
NEVER FORGET.
Anna Campbell went to N Syria to fight alongside the Kurdish people. She died in Afrin 15.03.2018 while trying help evacuate Kurdish civilians from Turkey's barbaric attack & occupation. Anna's father has been trying to recover her body since & is taking Turkey to ECHR Court.

"However difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you." Gary Lineker.
