Mayor Caroline Woodley stands with leaders of Haringey and Enfield Labour to condemn the violence in Syria, which continues to impact Kurdish communities.
Hackney is home to a thriving Kurdish population which sits at the heart of our vibrant community. Collectively, the Labour leaders call on the Government to:
- Support the protection of Kurdish identity and all minority communities in Syria
- Publicly denounce the human rights violations and commit to supporting peace in Syria
- Support negotiations to end the violence and seek concrete protections for civilians
- Back independent monitoring mechanisms documenting human rights abuses and overseeing ceasefire agreements
