On the occasion of the birth of Leader Abdullah Ocalan, which fell on April 4, the Jazera Canton Intellectuals Union organized an event in the Reading Park in Qamishlo.

The event was attended by many intellectuals, co-chairs of the Democratic Society Movement, and a group of people. During the event, the co-chair of the Democratic Society Movement, Gharib Hesso congratulated the birth of Leader Abdullah Ocalan, and said: “Leader influenced the world and all of humanity with his life, and his resistance, so we congratulate the Kurdish people, all of humanity, the families of the martyrs, the fighters for freedom, and all the activists."

Then the poet Bashir Mulla Nawaf recited his poem "Marmara", which he wrote for leader Abdullah Ocalan 24 years ago, and the poet Aboud Makso's "Imrali", which he wrote during the trial period in Imrali 24 years ago.

Then, the member of the Botan band, singer Yassin Botan, performed his song (“O Knight Siwaro”), which revolves around the resistance to leader Abdullah Ocalan in Imrali.

The attendees also planted tree seedlings in the garden, lit candles in front of pictures of Leader Ocalan.

The event will conclude distribution of the graphic novel which was written by Scottish author Sean Michael Wilson, who lives in Japan. It contains illustrative pictures, drawn by the Kurdish painter Keko, who lives in Spain, and deals with excerpts from the leader’s life.

During the event, leaflets prepared in Kurdish and Arabic by the Abdullah Ocalan Academy of Social Sciences, and booklets containing an overview of the leader’s life were also distributed.
