Kurdish people in London tried to participate in the Iraqi election from 5-th March.
But many were disqualified because the Iraq Election commission did not accept their British passports and other documents issued by the British government. Then these voters who were their just to exercise their rights to vote like any other people who believe in democracy tried to talk sense with the people in charge of the election process in London. When that failed, they sat in front of the gates not to allow the organisers to get in or out. that was when the police intervened and it became ugly.
many police officers in my view used excessive force, i know at least of someone’s hand broken, a finger broken and many got arrested. There were about 3-5 young men who decided they had enough of police behaviour and started throwing things at the police van and the officers invloved.
after the situation calmed down at least three people apologised to the police about the behaviour of the 3-5 young men.
all these people wanted was to vote and have their vopice heard.
