Background
Kurdish forces and communities in Rojava (North & East Syria) were key allies of the UK and partners in defeating ISIS. Many Kurdish civilians now fear renewed violence, displacement and persecution amid instability and conflict involving the new Syrian authorities and other actors. The UK should not stay silent. We urge the Government to defend human rights, support stability, prevent ISIS returning, and act through diplomacy, coordination and lawful sanctions.
