On Monday 9 January, people demonstrated in Cardiff and London to commemorate the three people killed by gunman William Malet<\/a> last December at the Kurdish Cultural Centre in Paris.<\/p>\n

The Canary<\/em> recently reported that those who died on 23 December were “Abdurrahman Kizil, singer and political refugee Mir Perwer, and Emine Kara, a leader of the movement of Kurdish women in France”. Glen Black wrote:<\/p>\n

Police arrested Malet after the murders, and charged him on 26 December. Malet told investigators at the time that he had a \u201cpathological\u201d hatred for foreigners and wanted to \u201cmurder migrants\u201d. As well as killing Kizil, Perwer, and Kara, Malet wounded a further three people. The suspect had a violent criminal history. At the time of the murders, he had just left detention<\/a> for attacking a Paris refugee camp with a sabre in 2021.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thousands attended<\/a> the funeral in Paris on 3 January, and French police attacked the mourners.<\/p>\n

The attack comes ten years after<\/a> Turkish intelligence agent \u00d6mer G\u00fcney assassinated Sakine Cans\u0131z (Sara), Fidan Do\u011fan (Rojb\u00een), and Leyla \u015eaylemez (Ronah\u00ee) in a similar attack<\/a> in Paris. Kurdish freedom movement news agency ANF Firat <\/em>wrote that there has been no justice for Sara, Rojb\u00een and Leyla in the ten years since. According<\/a> to ANF<\/em>:<\/p>\n

justice remains far and so does truth<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
