Sydney's Kurdish community protested in Martin Place on May 23 against Turkey's increasingly repressive government.

Sydney's Kurdish community and their supporters took to Martin Place on May 23 in a snap protest against Turkey's increasingly repressive Recep Tayyip Erdogan government after it cancelled the parliamentary immunity of progressive opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) MPs.

This is part of a bloody war the regime has been waging against the Kurdish people since June last year.

Socialist Alliance candidate for the federal seat of Sydney Peter Boyle addressed the rally.
