Afrin
Turkish Forces Bomb Civilians


The Turkish government has launched a military attack on the people of Afrin, a Kurdish area of Syria on the border of Turkey. Turkish forces have massed on the border and have started launching missiles into Afrin, terrorizing civilians. The pretext for this attack is the Turkish claim that the U.S. military allies, the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, are terrorists. Regardless of the truth or falsity of this claim, the principal victims of the Turkish attack are civilians.

Action:

1. Contact the State Department to ask that the U.S.A. protest Turkey’s attack on civilians in Afrin.

2. Contact the Turkish Embassy to protest Turkey’s attack on civilians in Afrin.
