Solidarity with Kurdistan Norway expresses our deepest condolences to the victims of the cowardly attack against the Ahmed Kaya Kurdish cultural center in Paris, as well as their families and the Kurdish community in general.

This attack, carried out shortly prior to the tenth anniversary of the murder of Kurdish activists Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan and Leyla Şaylemez is bound to be traumatic for the diaspora community all over Europe.

While much is still uncertain about the attack and its perpetrators, we stand in solidarity with the Kurdish community and echo the demands from our friends, both in France and here in Norway, for the authorities to take the threats against the Kurdish diaspora seriously.

Şehîd namirin,
Solidarity with Kurdistan Norway
