Thousands of Kurds from across Europe travelled to the northern Parisian suburb Villiers-le-Bel on Tuesday afternoon for the funeral of three Kurds who were gunned down in central Paris just before Christmas.
Abdurrahman Kizil, singer and political refugee Mir Perwer and Emine Kara, a leader of the Movement of Kurdish Women in France, died in a shooting at the Ahmet Kaya cultural centre in the 10th district on 23 December. Three others were wounded.
