MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Protesters demanded freedom for Abdullah Ocalan, a founding member of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is banned both in Turkey and Germany, according to the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine.

The demonstration, under the motto "Against Dictatorship and Discrimination" was held in place of the international Kurdish culture festival that was canceled last month over security concerns. It was attended by the local diaspora, as well as Kurds from France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
