Members of the Jazira Region Education and Training Committee take over the vigil in Semalka

Families continue to hold their vigil at the Semalka gate demanding the return of the bodies of the guerrillas who fell as martyrs in a KDP ambush. The vigil continues despite the extreme cold.

A delegation of members of the Jazira Region Education and Training Committee took over the vigil.

The delegation members walked to the Semalka gate, chanting slogans saluting the guerrilla resistance and condemning the KDP’s betrayal, and marched to the Pêşxabûr gate.

Speaking on behalf of the Jazira Region Education and Training Committee, Sûheyle Mihemed, said: “The enemies of the Kurdish people in the four parts of Kurdistan want to destroy the gains of the Kurds. These attacks are encouraged by the international silence.”

Stating that Turkish fascism uses internationally prohibited weapons against the guerrillas in the Medya Defense Areas, Sûheyle Mihemed underlined that the authorities in Bashur Kurdistan were responsible for the death of the guerrillas and continued: “We are here to convey our support to the protesters in front of the Semalka gate. The bodies of the martyrs of Xelîfan should be returned as soon as possible. The KDP should apologize to the families.”
