Condemn the dictatorial government policies of Erdogan in Turkey against Salih Muslim, Rojava, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the Democratic Union Party (PYD)!
November 22, 2016 the international news agencies reported that the Turkish government has ordered detention of ”Salih Muslim,” the co-leader of Syria’s the Democratic union party and common political spokesman of the Rojava at the international level. According to “Anatolia” news agency the Turkish government accuses ”Salih Muslim,” to Involvement in bomb attack in Ankara.
This judicial ruling declares while Salih Muslim and Syrian Kurds’ forces have strongly fought against terrorism in Rojava region in recent years. Turkey court ruling, has issued as well the arrest of 48 other leaders of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and Democratic Union party (PYD).
On February 17, 2016, in a bomb explosion in Ankara, at least 29 people were killed and 61 have wounded. Then, 15 people were arrested in suspected for involvement in the operation and now the Turkish government claims that their investigation shows that PKK and their follower organizations lie behind the incident. In fact, the Erdogan’s government has long tried by providing conditions like these accusing Kurdish political groups by trumped-up charges and therefore creating legal ban on them, and then demanding arrest and imprisoning of their members.
It’s notable that the detention request of Salih Muslim and the other Kurdish parties’ leaders in Turkey are taking place while Salih Muslim is on a diplomatic trip in Europe and just now visiting England and have a planed schedule to deliver a speech in the parliament.
The Turkish government and Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, declare the Syrian Democratic Union Party and the People’s Defense Units as terrorists, while these forces are relying on people’s movement and directs by people themselves through council relations, and they struggle for a democratic Syria.
The Turkish government, despite her accusations against Kurdish political organizations has herself under many years near relations with the active terrorist groups in the Syrian civil war, in particular ISIS. And now, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling party (AKP) with detaining more than 150 thousand persons in the last three months and proposing Islamic anti-women and anti-children laws to parliament tries to establish more and more the state-terrorism and political despotism and reactionary laws in this country. Naturally, given the well-known intrigue of Erdogan, public opinion in Turkey and most countries of the world accuse Turkish government herself for that, and even European states and USA criticize their ally, the Turkish government.
We the undersigned, condemn Turkish government actions against Salih Muslim and PKK leaders and the arrest of the leaders and parliamentary members of HDP in Turkey and tens of thousands of others in Turkey. We support the rightful struggles of the socio-political movements in Rojava, the Kurdish people and other repressed minorities and other popular movements in Turkey and demand the release of Abdullah Ocalan and all political prisoners in Turkey. We condemn the belligerent and violent interference of the Turkish government and Turkish army in the region.
