On World Theatre Day, art is evoked not merely as a form of entertainment, but as a tool of struggle and awareness. This was embodied by the martyr Yekta Herkol, who transformed theatre into a message of resistance, making his life and actions a cry against oppression and the international conspiracy that targeted leader Abdullah Ocalan.

Maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is witnessing a complex reality today, as one-fifth of the world’s energy supplies passes through it under a traffic separation scheme. However, Iran exercises quasi-official control by requiring prior coordination, submission of information on vessels and their cargo, and by imposing selective fees or restrictions. This adds indirect pressure on navigation and makes passage contingent on compliance with Tehran’s conditions, despite its legal status as an international strait open to transit.

The city of Serekaniye and its countryside are experiencing a state of anticipation and uncertainty, between limited individual returns of some residents to villages and waiting for an organized mass return with guarantees. This comes amid the continued absence of security and the ongoing military presence of the Turkish occupation. Widespread destruction, looting of property, and the extortion of returnees further deepen the fears of the displaced, making the decision to return fraught with risks.

Intellectuals in Tel Tamer affirmed that the continued isolation imposed on leader Abdullah Ocalan poses a real threat to his life. They called for escalating struggle and organizing international rights campaigns and activities to improve his conditions, ultimately enabling the realization of his physical freedom.
