The Kurdish community in London marked the 10 year anniversary of the killing of three people in Paris (January 9) outside the French Embassy.

Protesters chanted 'Shame on France', 'Turkey is a terrorist state' and attempted to tie a black cloth to the embassy doors though they were prevented from doing so by the police.

A minute silence was held for Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan Leyla Şaylemez, who were killed in Paris on 9 January 2013, and for the three Kurds murdered by a racist gunman on the 23rd December 2022.

Activists believe the Turkish secret service is ultimately behind the killings, demanded those who are responsible to be held to account for their actions and that the French authorities should have done more to protect the community.
