@the.amargi: Kurdish Students Attacked During Peaceful March for Their Language in Al-Hasakah Footage from Al-Hasakah shows a man wielding a knife threatening Kurdish students with slaughter, chanting slogans associated with ISIS, in front of Syrian Public Security forces. The students were marching peacefully to the Education Directorate to demand official recognition of the Kurdish language and its inclusion in school curricula. Four students sustained minor injuries and were taken to the hospital. Since August 27, 2026, Kurdish-majority areas have seen student protests rejecting the Syrian Ministry of Education’s decision to limit Kurdish instruction to three classes a week. “We have been studying in Kurdish for 12 years, and this is our final year of school. We cannot continue our education in Arabic,” one student says.
