TEV-DEM Women’s Office calls upon to hold Turkey accountable of its crimes in IC

The statement of the Women's Office of the Democratic Society Movement came during the annual meeting for the year 2021, held, Tuesday, in the city of Qamishlo.

The statement of the office indicated that, with its attacks on the region, Turkey wants to complete its colonial project, abuse the defenseless and steadfast people of the region, displace them and work on demographic change and the destruction of archaeological monuments to obliterate the identity of the region.

Adding: "Today, it is adding to its criminal record and its cross-border terrorism with a new crime, which is its barbaric bombing on the steadfast border line of Kobani and Sarin, which has shown the most wonderful heroic epics in confronting ISIS terrorism."

On the 25th of this December, the Turkish occupation launched a drone attack, targeting a house that included members of the Revolutionary Youth Movement and the Young Women's Union, which resulted in the martyrdom of 5 members of the movement and the union.

The office's statement clarified the reason for targeting the young group by the Turkish occupation; Because they are the core of building the future of the nation, and it is the most powerful, able to build and defend its people.

It continued, "Yes, it is the criminal policy of Erdogan's government and its mercenaries that have committed and are still committing the most heinous crimes against humanity, including the destruction of villages, forced displacement, kidnapping, rape and depriving our people of their most basic rights to live in peace and security, they want to extinguish the light of freedom in north and east Syria."

In its statement, the office called on the international community and international human rights organizations to deter this "barbaric arrogance and investigate these crimes committed against our defenseless civilian people, and all the crimes of the Turkish occupation, and refer them to international courts, all of which are war crimes against humanity.”

In conclusion, it called, "We demand our great people to escalate their struggle and strengthen their unity in the face of the Turkish occupation state."
