Demo in Kobanî against Ramin Benahi's execution

KOBANIÎ

Hundreds of Kobanî people gathered at the Free Women roundabout in the center of Kobanî city to protest against the decision of the Iranian state to execute the Kurdish politician Ramin Banahi, holding pictures of Ramin Banahi, who is being held in Iran's prisons and sentenced to death.

The people at first held a minute of silence, then, the co-chair of the Executive Council of Kobanî canton Enwer Muslim delivered a speech and said," Ramin Banahi is fighting for brotherhood, humanity and anti-racism, so the decision to execute him is a killing of humanity."      

He added "We say to all these fascist regimes unjust against our people the great fighter, enough to shed the blood of our people and our fighters and our children."

The demonstration ended by chanting the slogans which condemned the policy of Iran and Turkey governments which practiced all methods of repression and brutality against the Kurdish people.

It is noteworthy that the Kurdish fighter Ramin Banahi had been sent a message from inside the prison to the people, after the death sentence against him, the message said:

"We have always loved to be loyal to those individuals we know, the neighbors, the citizens of society and the people we live within the places and feel close to them and to be next to each other in the joys and sorrows ...

Why should workers live in this situation?

Why should children work and suffer?

Why should our women and mothers suffer all this suffering and discrimination?

Why should not we all be free and try freedom side by side? Their numbers are not limited to those who raise these questions loudly and are convicted of various crimes: the warrior and anti-revolutionary, belonging to terrorist groups and intelligence espionage networks, and membership in the groups of resistance.

I am also one of those who are looking for answers to these questions and are looking for answers to any questions I have posed.

Today more than any other day I enjoy this loyalty, and love for citizens,

I feel proud to be next to them. While waiting for the death penalty is a painful moment, but the value and pride of standing by the citizens I love, the nature of the life in which I lived and the workers with whom I worked, reduce the suffering of these moments. "
