Women escalate calls for leader Ocalan’s physical freedom

Voices are increasingly rising across different segments of society in the Jazira Canton—particularly among women—calling for the physical freedom of leader Abdullah Ocalan and adherence to the call for peace and a democratic society.

In this context, Nahla Ahmed, a member of Kongra Star, stated that the continued isolation constitutes a clear violation of international human rights laws and conventions. She noted that targeting leader Ocalan goes beyond his person to affect the will of peoples and women striving for peace and stability in the region.

She added that the leader plays a key role in this sensitive phase, as his ideas present democratic solutions based on coexistence and the building of a society founded on justice and equality. She emphasized that this vision represents a genuine alternative to breaking out of cycles of conflict.

Nahla stressed that leader Ocalan’s philosophy has contributed to restoring the leading role of women within society, as he considered women’s liberation to be the foundation of societal liberation. She called for securing his freedom, describing it as a step toward the freedom of peoples and women.

For her part, Basrat Murad, an administrator in Kongra Star in the town of Abira, condemned the continuation of isolation, describing it as an unacceptable practice that targets peoples—especially women. She affirmed that leader Ocalan’s philosophy have played a major role in empowering women and helping them understand their identity and the history of their struggle.

She further explained that the continued detention of the leader represents a direct targeting of the will of free women, noting that women’s struggle will continue in line with the leader’s approach and ideology until his physical freedom is achieved.

Meanwhile, conference member Amina Hussein pointed to Turkey’s policies toward the Kurdish issue and leader Ocalan, stating that they target the voices of peoples—particularly women who reject injustice and oppression. She added that current practices reflect a stance hostile to ideas advocating for peoples’ participation in managing their own affairs.

In conclusion, she stressed that the leader’s ideas have strengthened the role of women by enabling them to recognize themselves and defend their rights, emphasizing that women will continue their struggle to achieve his physical freedom and see him among them.
