Families of prisoners demand implementation of release agreement

The families of prisoners detained by the Syrian Interim Government gathered at Rojava Roundabout in the city of Qamishlo and issued a statement demanding the release of their sons.

The statement was read in Kurdish by teacher Rojin Moussa and in Arabic by teacher Farid Hassan.

The statement said:

“O sons and daughters of our Kurdish people, our people in Kurdistan and in every corner of the world where the heart of every free Kurd beats;

We address you with hearts heavy with pain and eyes fixed on hope that has not faded. Our sons and brothers imprisoned in Rojava have remained in detention by the Syrian Interim Government for more than a month, despite the announcement of an agreement reached with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) that stipulated their release. However, this agreement has not been implemented to this day, and their fate remains unknown. Their families are also deprived of any information regarding their condition.”

The statement added that the mothers, fathers, children, and wives of the detainees are living in painful and sorrowful circumstances, anxiously awaiting the fulfillment of the hope for their release.

The families affirmed that they appeal to the conscience of humanity and all defenders of freedom to stand with them, respond to their demands, and secure the immediate release of the prisoners.

In conclusion, the families called on the Kurdish people in the four parts of Kurdistan and across the world to organize peaceful mass demonstrations and amplify the voices of the prisoners’ families everywhere.
