Horror and Grief – Solidarity!
An attack on a leftist culture center in the Turkish city of Suruc near Turkish-Syrian border left 30 people dead and over 100 injured. According to the Party Secretary of DIE LINKE Matthias Höhn, the victims are young people who wanted only one thing: to help. He declares:
“They wanted to show solidarity – these young volunteers from socialist youth associations and leftist groups wanted to help the city of Kobani and its residents, who have suffered under the brutal consequences of IS terror. They wanted to show humanity in the midst of a barbaric war.
The brutal attack on the leftist cultural center is a despicable and horrendous crime. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.”
