Iran situation under IRGC fascism and Khomeini’s murderer regimes:
WestPapuaNews.Org Statement by Iranian allies of Palestine regarding the National March for Palestine organised by @palestinesolidarityuk on Saturday, 31 January.
This statement addresses the National March for Palestine held on Saturday, 31 January, during which flags of the Islamic Republic of Iran, images of Ali Khamenei, and chants of “Khamenei, make us proud” were present, just weeks after tens of thousands of people were massacred by the regime in Iran.
WestPapuaNews.Org When Iranian attendees have raised concerns about the presence of these symbols and chants, their objections have been dismissed by security staff. For many Iranians, these symbols represent a regime responsible for repression, torture, and mass killings. The presence of these flags and chants at the march was therefore deeply distressing and exclusionary.
WestPapuaNews.Org We raise this concern in good faith, out of a commitment to principled and inclusive solidarity, and to prevent the co-optation and misrepresentation of Palestine solidarity movements.
We ask allies of Palestine and the Iranian people to also raise these concerns directly with the organisers.
Kobane – Kurdistan Under Attacks from the ISIS Al-Qaida Syrian coloniser state:
WestPapuaNews.Org Syrian Arab coloniser forces and residents of nearby Arab villages have reportedly carried out widespread looting of property belonging to displaced Kurdish families in the areas surrounding the villages of Jalbiyah, Khanik, and Kharab Ishk, after these locations fell under their control. Taking advantage of the relative calm along the frontlines, the perpetrators transported movable belongings to unknown locations and stole money and other valuable possessions.
WestPapuaNews.Org The incidents occurred after armed factions targeted these villages and surrounding rural areas, forcing Kurdish families to flee toward the city of Kobani. Local residents have called on relevant authorities to intervene immediately to prevent further violations of private property, to provide protection for civilians, and to secure a ceasefire that would allow the safe return of displaced families to the Kobani countryside.
WestPapuaNews.Org Earlier today, sources from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported a tense calm across the southern, eastern, and western countryside of Kobani. However, displacement from rural areas toward the city continues, driven by fears of renewed escalation. Kobani, already overwhelmed by thousands of displaced families, is facing catastrophic humanitarian conditions. Basic necessities of life have become increasingly scarce due to the systematic siege imposed on the city, deepening what local observers describe as an unfolding humanitarian tragedy.
WestPapuaNews.Org Co-organiser Stop the War Coalition said that the movement “remains strong and refuses to be duped” by US President Donald Trump’s so-called Board of Peace and his Gaza redevelopment plan.
Stop the War said in a message to supporters: “As we have seen so far this year the greatest menace to world peace is President Trump.
“With his increasingly threatening behaviour towards Iran, his Board of Colonisation for Gaza and the kidnapping of Venezuela’s President Maduro, Trump is pushing the world towards global conflict.
“But rather than cutting ties with Trump’s America, [PM Sir Keir] Starmer is imitating and appeasing — lending the US military support, increasing arms spending and attacking our living standards in the process, and promoting forms of nationalism that are fuelling racism.
“We must resist Trump’s imperialism and demand that Starmer does too.”
According to the group, about 100,000 people attended the protest.
WestPapuaNews.Org Meanwhile, a small group of Ukip protesters gathered in nearby Trafalgar Square after being banned from assembling in east London’s Whitechapel district over fears of attacks on the large Muslim population, despite warnings from the pro-Palestine protest organisers to the Met Police that they could face attacks by the far-right group.
A small group of pro-Israel protesters also attempted to stir conflict as they gathered at Aldwych.
At least two people were arrested under terror laws for carrying banners reading the words: “We are all Palestine Action.” The group was proscribed in July.
Activist Peter Tatchell was also arrested for having a placard that included the words: “globalise the intifada.”
Mr Tatchell said: “The word intifada is not a crime in law. The police are engaged in over-reach by making it an arrestable offence. This is part of a dangerous trend to increasingly restrict and criminalise peaceful protests.”
In an X post, the Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest of “a 74-year-old man on suspicion of a public order offence.”
The force said a total of 14 people were arrested: one person from the counterprotest and 13 from the anti-war demonstration.
WestPapuaNews.Org Therefor important to make connection struggle of the Palestinian protest with the Iranian liberation struggle under IRGC barbaric murderous regimes, Kurdish liberation struggle against the ISIS Al-Qaida terrorist president Al Jolani former deputy of the ISIS terrorist leader with the HTS and Turkish colonisers continue attacking and bombing Kurdish villages, cities, schools, hospital and public building in Kobane, Qamsilo, and Afrin in Kurdistan. Those regions are connected to the struggle of the Kanak people against the France illegal annexation for more than 272 years until today, while West Papuan people continue to fight for our right to self-determination to be free from Indonesia colonialism and illegal occupiers in West Papua.
