The statements of powerful men in Syria get so much attention.
Why not listen to what the women are saying instead?
In Rojava, north east Syria, women are proposing a model for the whole of Syria based on the principles of Woman, Life, Freedom. 💚💚💚

My letter to Bishop Budde:
I congratulate you on your moving and appropriate sermon urging President Trump to show compassion and humility to the now terrified migrant communities and those who are LGBTQ+ in the US.
I hope other clerics from
all faiths will follow your example. Thankyou

What a perfect brilliant sermon from DC Bishop Budde, so rudely scorned by felon Trump. Perhaps a call for the 5 world religions to be headed by tpeace loving, compassionate , ethical women priests ? Let’s have a female AoC here. The Chief Rabbi backs genocide in Gaza! and Iran’s Mullahs are male!

More evidence of UK’d complicity in Israel’s war crimes . A new review of F-35 exports reveals no red lines for UK government in context of atrocities in Gaza. Shameful. And
Another massacre of innocent civilians last night, just hours after news of an agreed cease fire broke. Starmer should go!

The DAANES ( Rojava) holds a key position for the establishment of a stable and democratic Syria. 13 years with a democratic, ecological, and women’s liberation perspective, it must be protected and Turkey and its jihadists stopped from continuing its genocide . UK complicit as it arms Erdogan .

Why no reports in the UK media of the atrocious attack ( at Turkey’s bidding) on the Kurdish Community Centre in North London, raiding of Kurdish homes, arrests, detentions and prosecutions under our Terror Act of innocent Kurdish peace activists? Trial at Old Bailey next year. No evidence !

People don’t seem to understand that even if a building housing refugees was classified as a ‘5 Star Hotel’, by the time all the 5 star services like food, staff, reception and furnishings are stripped out and the single room is now sleeping 4 in bunk beds there isn’t much 5 star about it!

We should not be locking asylum seekers up anyway. Especially unaccompanied child migrants. They should be in school. In everyone’s interest. Not just theirs as it’s the right of a child, most will work harder there than Many of our home grown children. This is what they hungered for

Can’t bear to read of Starmer shaking hands with another murderer MBS in Riyadh. After Afghanistan and Iran worst country in world to be a woman.
And still he sells arms to Israel and Turkey implicitly backing their genocides. Worse we act as Erdogan’s agents prosecuting Kurds here for terroism

Why is media so silent about Turkeys killing Kurdish civilians including children in Qamishli. In the DAANES ( Rojava). HTS in Idlib behaved just like ISIS. Yet talks of delisting it as terror org. While PKk we keep listed. No hope of peace in Syria or Turkey without recognition of DAANES.

It was Cabinet minister Pat McFadden who earlier today told the BBC that the UK could remove HTS from the list.
But Sir Keir said it was still "far too early" to consider a change of policy! But arms sales to
Turkey keep
PKK listed and Ocalan in prison

Shocked that UK MP today suggested “ delisting”
HTS ! While it continues to list PKK as terror organisation. HTS born from Al Qa’da. Far too early to believe it’s changed its culture. But PKK should be delisted.

But of course I was not permitted to visit detained Kurdish writer Ali Poyraz . The police refused to disclose if he was at Hammersmith police station. I was denied the right to check that he was being well treated. I walked away in near tears, feeling I was living in

Diyarbakır Governorate bans the slogan ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî’ “ Women, Life, Liberty “ was the slogan that rang round the world following the murder of Marsa Amini in Iran in 2022. These iconic words were coined by Kurdish leader Ocalan. Now racist, misogynist , war criminal Erdogan is banning its use

Ali Poyraz, Kurdish freedom activist, detained in Hammersmith Police station is on hunger strike. He endured 21 years of jail in Turkey. But here likewise no due process. MET serves Erdogan.
Tomorrow, as a lawyer, I will try visit him . If refused I’ll wave my Kurdish flag. Let them arrest me.
