Protest In Support Of The Kurdish People In Lisbon, Portugal.
Several activists carry flags and banners with political slogans and walk during a march in downtown Lisbon, Portugal, on January 24, 2026. The Portuguese capital is the scene of another day of social mobilization in solidarity with the Kurdish people and the Rojava region, joining a wave of protests sweeping across major European capitals. The rally and subsequent march, organized by Portuguese social platforms such as the Plataforma de Solidariedade com os Povos do Curdistao (Platform for Solidarity with the Peoples of Kurdistan) and civil society groups, aim to denounce the recent escalation of violence and military attacks by Syrian forces against Kurdish communities in the north of the country.
