KON-MED calls for participation in February 12 actions in Germany and Strasbourg
The Kurdish umbrella organization in Germany, KON-MED, released a written statement to mark the anniversary of the 15 February, 1999 international conspiracy against Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan that resulted in his forced departure to Turkey.
“We have entered the 23rd year of the international conspiracy against the Kurdish people in the person of Abdullah Öcalan. This plot, which took place on February 15, marked the beginning of the Kurdish genocide. Therefore, February 15 is a black day for the Kurds, when their will was taken hostage. The Imrali isolation system stifles the Kurdish people,” the statement said.
‘DANGER PERSISTS’
“A recent CPT report confirmed that an aggravated isolation unprecedented in history is being imposed on Öcalan in the Imrali prison, which is persistently maintained by the AKP-MHP-Ergenekon alliance,” the statement continued.
“The international isolation system at Imrali which has been continuing for 23 years can no longer be tolerated. We know that the attacks against Öcalan aim at his physical eradication. Despite the outstanding resistance of our people and Öcalan against the Imrali isolation system, the danger persists. We will continue our struggle to eliminate this danger completely and to secure the physical freedom of the Kurdish leader. Öcalan’s freedom is the freedom of the Kurdish people. No people can be free if their leader is not free.
The international powers that wanted to design the Middle East according to their own interests, introduced the international conspiracy to eliminate Kurdish leader Öcalan and the Kurdish freedom struggle which they saw as the only obstacle to them. The Imrali system in which the Kurdish leader is kept in isolation is a project of the international conspiratorial forces. This is why the Council of Europe and the CPT (Committee for the Prevention of Torture) have not done anything although they admitted that the Imrali system was a torture system. Likewise, the German government has adopted an isolation system against the Kurdish people. For years, it has been mounting undemocratic and unlawful attacks against the Kurdish people through its prohibitions and criminalization policies. It implements the isolation in Germany by banning Kurdish institutions and organizations. The ban on Öcalan’s images is the main proof that the German government puts the Imrali isolation system into practice.
Öcalan’s democratic, ecological, pro-women paradigm has spread all over the world following the Rojava revolution that developed against all these attacks that have continued for 23 years. Öcalan has become a glimmer of hope for all humanity who wants freedom and equality, including the peoples of the Middle East and all the oppressed, and is endorsed in many parts of the world.
The outstanding resistance of our people and our friends has been continuing uninterruptedly as part of the ‘Dem Dema Azadiye -Freedom Shall Prevail campaign that we have launched. It is our historical duty to raise the struggle to secure the physical freedom of Öcalan and to gain our freedom by embracing the Kurdish leader.
‘TODAY IS THE DAY TO BREAK ISOLATION SYSTEM’
Therefore, we will demand the physical freedom of Öcalan by condemning the international conspiracy in marches and rallies in several locations in Germany and Strasbourg.
As KON-MED, we invite all our people and friends to join the central marches and rallies to be held in four locations in Germany and Strasbourg on February 12.
