More than 1,000 intellectuals from 30 countries call for the PKK to be removed from the "terror list"

There is growing global resentment over the crimes of the Turkish state against the Kurdish people, its occupation attacks and the ban on PKK.

The International Kurds Justice Initiative has invited internationally recognized celebrities from 30 countries to join the campaign to remove the name of the PKK from the " terror list."

Kurdistan is one of the places where a relentless war has been waged, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The Turkish occupying state continues its arbitrary practices and violations of genocide, massacres and denial. The Turkish state, led by Erdogan, justifies all forms of violence committed under cover of combating terrorism and terrorists "and launching its arbitrary and brutal attacks in Northern Kurdistan/Turkey, Rojava /Syria and Southern Kurdistan/Iraq."

The statement added: "The Turkish state, which does not recognize the natural and legitimate rights of the Kurdish people, accuses Kurdish parties in the Parliament of pursuing legal policies. It has arrested parliamentarians and co-chairs of municipals under pretext of belonging to the membership of terrorist organizations, "and has expelled 3,000 academics who have criticized the state's policy towards Kurds from universities for" supporting a terrorist organization, "prosecuting and arresting hundreds of journalists for" membership and propaganda of a terrorist organization. "

It also accuses the Democratic Union Party (PYD), Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), People's Protection Units (YPG), and Women's Protection Units (YPJ) that joined the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS in Rojava the enemy of humanity, with the cooperation of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

The statement noted that "the Turkish state has occupied areas in Rojava under the pretext of fighting" terrorism "and has deployed its army and mercenary terrorist ISIS and other extremist groups in Afrin, Ras al-Ain and Tel Abyed, and has repeatedly bombed the refugee camp in a United Nations-sponsored Makmur, which has resulted in the loss of lives of dozens of unarmed civilians; Turkey claimed that this camp of 15,000 civilians is a terrorist camp, and the Yazidis Kurd in Shengal is subjected to organized and systematic bombing by military aircraft belonging to the Turkish occupying state. "

Twenty-nine world-renowned intellectuals, writers and politicians who witnessed these relentless attacks by the Turkish occupying state led by Erdogan formed The International Kurd Justice Initiative in support of the Kurdish people. The Initiative issued a statement on 5 November 2021, calling on the world's intellectuals to rise up against these crimes and to remove the name of the PKK from the "list of terrorism."
