A crowd of about 20 gathered at the Daíl to protest the Turkish Government's banning of the Kurdish DTP party and essentially disenfranchising millions of Kurds. The DTP has 22 Members of Parliament. This new ban is seen by many Kurds as an attempt to marginalise them further from mainstream politics.
