Thousands of Kurdish people living in France marched in the streets of Paris on Saturday, to mark the 10th anniversary of the killing of three Kurdish activists in the French capital. Three Kurdish women were killed in a Paris attack in January 2013, with the investigation dropped after the main suspect died shortly before coming to trial, before being re-opened in 2019.
The demonstration comes two weeks after a gunman in late December 2022 carried out a separate attack at a Kurdish cultural centre and nearby cafe in a busy part of Paris' 10th district, killing an additional three members of the Kurdish community.
Police arrested a 69-year-old man who the authorities said had recently been freed from detention while awaiting trial for a sabre attack on a migrant camp in Paris in 2021.
"It's true that we don't feel safe in France," Kurdish protester Cemile Renklicay said. "When every 10 years, you see three people from the community killed in Paris, that makes us angry."
