KURDISH solidarity activists in Britain are set to hold what could be among their largest protests this weekend to oppose the Turkish invasion of Rojava. 

Large demonstrations to defend the left-wing autonomous region of northern Syria have taken place in Brighton, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Sheffield.

Two particularly big demos in London and central Manchester on Wednesday and Thursday saw thousands of people march under the flags of the Labour Party, pro-Jeremy Corbyn campaigning group Momentum and the Kurdistan Workers Party.

Under the name #RiseUp4Rojava, the protests have decried the Turkish invasion of northern Syria, which has seen the mass bombing of civilian targets and the murder of Kurdish politicians.

Two large marches are expected to take place in London this weekend.

Protesters will descend on Trafalgar Square on Saturday evening and the BBC’s Portland Place offices on Sunday afternoon.

Kurdish activists are also calling for a boycott of Turkish Airlines, which is run by the Turkish state.
