The statement clarified that the Turkish occupation state uses the most violent methods of killing and injustice against women every time, adding, "The targeting of HDP Member Deniz Poyraz is not a new event or a coincidence; rather, it is evidence of the continuation of the Turkish occupation state's brutality in targeting women to break their morale, which is revenge after its defeat in Metina, Avaşîn and Zap.

The statement continued, "Yesterday they were Hevrin, Hind, Saada, Zahra, Habboun and Amina, and before them Sakine, Fidan and Leyla in Paris, and today Deniz, in addition to Turkey's crimes against women in its areas of occupation, including kidnapping, murder, torture and rape, and in Turkey too, in addition to its continued targeting of female politicians, media professionals and intellectuals."

Kongra Star in Hasakah canton affirmed, "We are continuing our struggle and resistance for women's freedom and organization, and we call on the international community and the European Union to break their silence and stop the attacks launched by the Turkish occupying state."
