Labor Senator for Victoria, the Honorable Raff Ciccone shared a social media post along with Victoria Legislative Council member Enver Erdogan from the Nevroz celebrations in Melbourne, where flags of KCU (Kurdish Communities Union) and posters of convicted leader of PKK, Abdullah Ocalan were unfurled.
PKK is a designated terrorist organisation in Australia and the KCU is its umbrella organisation.
Nevroz is a celebration of the arrival of spring among the peoples of a wide region ranging from Turkey in the west to Afghanistan in the east.
PKK-affiliated groups are known to claim the event for being a uniquely Kurdish one and utilise the cultural event as a political platform to amplify their demands.
