Kurds protest Turkish chemical attacks in front of International Court of Justice

A protest has been staged in front of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Netherlands, against the Turkish army’s use of chemical weapons in the guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).

The crowd will march towards the headquarters of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The Kurds call for the OPCW to assume its responsibilities and to dispatch a delegation to Kurdistan to make investigations on site.

The activists said that the Turkish state has committed war crimes by using chemical weapons in the Medya Defense Zones and called on the international community to step into action.
