Welsh Labour demand Jeremy Hunt supports Kurds

THE Welsh Assembly’s International Relations Minister Eluned Morgan has written to Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt demanding he urgently speaks up for Kurdish rights.

The move comes as Welsh Kurd Imam Sis has spent over four months on hunger strike in Newport and could die at any moment.

Mr Sis is one of thousands of Kurds on hunger strike around the world who are calling for an end to the isolation of jailed Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan.
