Stop the hate against the minority

Sulaymaniyah, February 24th 2024, Metro Center is concerned with the hate campaign against the minority, which a few days after the decision of the federal court to cancel the minority chairs, is promoted, Metro also asks the Kurdistan community to not be a part of this campaign.

After the Federal Court described the existence of 11 Kurdish regional elections as unconstitutional the parties similar to the other lists participate in the elections with separate lists in social media, attacks on the minorities in the Kurdistan Region are clearly promoted to the level of hatred against them.

National and religious minorities were respected in the Kurdish community, in a spirit of tolerance peaceful living overcoming hatred extremism، and intimidation.

 Metro Center is concerned about the campaign of hatred against minorities calling on the Kurdish community to shame the campaign and not be part of the media and political discourse that promotes hate against the national and religious minorities in the Kurdistan Region.

Metro distinguishes political criticism of the minority ratio from the campaign of hatred stressing that "excessive expressions of some opponents of the minority ratio and even its supporters have encouraged the revolutionary fighters to carry out these attacks."

The federal court's decision to abolish the national and religious minorities should be an occasion for constructive political debate, and not an event of hatred against the structures that represent the color of our community.
