In Bern, capital city of Switzerland, thousands of people protested against the Turkish invasion of northern Syria. 81 organisations had called for the demonstration. The opening rally at Schützenmatte began with a minute's silence for the martyrs of revolution. Speakers expressed solidarity with the resistance in Northern Syria and the democratic system in Rojava.

The demo was followed by a march to the Parliament. The participants displayed banners, signs and flags of the YPG/YPJ and received applause from passers-by.

At the final rally, a speech on behalf of Amnesty International drew attention to Turkey's serious war crimes in northern Syria. Socialist politician Ursula Marti called for sanctions against Turkey and an UN- mediated peace settlement.

Rojbîn Yusuf of TEV-DEM (Democratic Society Movement) who addressed the crowd on the phone described the campaign in Northern Syria as a crime against humanity.

Further speeches were given by a brother of Ali Wazir, who was seriously injured in Geneva in a self-immolation action in protest against the UN's inaction, and the brother of the Kurdish politician Havrin Khalaf, who was brutally murdered by Turkey’s mercenaries in Northern Syria.
