The bodies of three Kurdish citizens killed by a racist citizen in Paris on December 23, 2022, will be returned to Kurdistan today.
KurdSat English has learned that today a farewell ceremony will be held in front of the Ahmed Kaya Cultural Center in Paris to commemorate the three Kurds killed by a racist French citizen.
The bodies of the two victims will be repatriated to North Kurdistan, Turkey, where they will be buried, while the body of the third victim will arrive in Makhmour in the Kurdistan region for burial.
A racist man opened fire on the Kurdish community in Paris, killing three Kurdish activists; the attack caused a large public outcry and led the Kurdish community in the country to ask for more protection.
The killer, a retired train driver named William M., told police he had become "depressed" and "suicidal" after his home was robbed in 2016, the office of the Paris prosecutor said on Sunday.
The Paris Shooting spree attack came almost 10 years after the murder of three Kurdish women activists in the French capital; the victims were PKK members, prompting many to raise fingers at Turkey.
