Solidarity with the Kurds! The Democratic Socialist Party declares its solidarity with the Kurdish people in their international protests for the release of Kurdish liberation movement leader Adbullah Ocalan and their ongoing struggle for national self-determination. The Turkish government charges Abdullah Ocalan with "terrorism" but the real terrorists are the Turkish government and their imperialist backers who have waged decades of genocidal war against the Kurdish minority. Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer's labelling of the the Kurdish protests as "un-Australian" is a racist and hypocritical slur against one of the most oppressed nationalities in the world. How is it that the Australian government's support for repressive regimes and aggressive wars is not called "un-Australian" but the desperate protests of the victims of this repression and aggression is labelled "un-Australian"? The Democratic Socialist Party calls upon all progressive people to join in with the Kurdish community in their protests against Abdullah Ocalan's arrest.
