TWITTER, — As a result of the Turkish State ignoring the many basic human rights requests made by the Kurdish people to obtain recognition of their identity and their cultural, political and civil rights, a mass tweeting campaign started on Twitter on Friday, May 27@ #TwitterKurds, ANF reported
The first mass ‘Friday Tweet’ was massively successful, said organizers.
The second mass tweeting will be on Friday (June 3): Kurds and supporters of Kurdish rights will once again work together to break the media silence and raise awareness about the Kurdish Freedom Struggle in North Kurdistan (SE Turkey.)
For decades the International media has kept quiet regarding the Kurdish cause, but through the #TwitterKurds campaign people are asked to highlight the Kurdish question on the social networking site Twitter.
For months the Kurdish people have taken part in a series of acts of civil disobedience with 4 basic demands. The right to education in mother tongue, release of political prisoners, abolishing the 10 percent threshold for parliamentary elections in Turkey, which has prevented pro-Kurdish parties from entering the parliament and an end to military operations.
While the Turkish Government continues to ignore these requests, the Kurdish movement is convinced that dialogue and democratic solution is the only sustainable way to move forward
