Protest in Stockholm next month over Feyli Kurdish “martyrs”

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: Kurdish women will stage a sit-in in front of the Iraqi embassy in the Swedish capital Stockholm on April 4 over the Feyli Kurdish “martyrs,” according to a release by the Feyli Kurdish Democratic Union on Sunday. “The sit-in comes to mark the 29th anniversary of a campaign of collective punishment, random vengeance, genocide and ethnic cleansing against our Iraqi Feyli Kurdish citizens and also to condemn the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the former dictatorial regime,” read the release as received by IraqiNews.com news agency. In the early 1980s, Feyli Kurds were the target for large-scale campaigns of mass displacement to Iran during the regime of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. AmR (P) 1
