Sydney's Kurdish community protested in Martin Place on May 23 against Turkey's increasingly repressive government.

Sydney's Kurdish community and their supporters took to Martin Place on May 23 in a snap protest against Turkey's increasingly repressive Recep Tayyip Erdogan government after it cancelled the parliamentary immunity of progressive opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) MPs.

Socialist Alliance candidate for the federal seat of Sydney Peter Boyle addressed the rally.
