HUNDREDS of Kurdish protesters demonstrated in central London today in response to the arrest of seven people said to be associated with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).

Many wore face coverings, blew whistles, chanted and played music as they made their way through the streets following a pre-arranged route from Trafalgar Square to Whitehall.

Others held placards with “stop the attacks on Kurds” and “hands off our community centre” written on them.
