Women renew call for leader Ocalan's physical freedom

Public calls continue for Abdullah Ocalan's physical freedom and an end to the isolation imposed on him as part of the Peace and Democratic Society process.

Speaking in the town of Garkê Legê in the Jazira Canton, local women emphasized that leader Ocalan's physical freedom is closely tied to the success of the peace process.

Resident Baraa Khasho said that leader Ocalan's physical freedom is essential for the success of peace efforts, noting that "Abdullah Ocalan is capable of leading this process and promoting a culture of peace and democracy not only in Turkey but throughout the Middle East."

She concluded: "We will continue demanding leader Ocalan's freedom and working to strengthen his vision of free democracy."

Meanwhile, Iman Murad said the Turkish state had initially stated that leader Ocalan would appear before the Turkish parliament to explain the steps of the peace process, but is now retreating from those promises.

She added: "The Kurdish people seek peace for themselves and for all other communities, and the Turkish state must realize that the failure of the peace process will once again bring destruction and war to the region."

For her part, Salma Ibrahim said that women's struggle to secure leader Ocalan's physical freedom will continue and will remain one of the main demands of the women's revolution.

"We women remain committed to achieving leader Ocalan's physical freedom, whatever the cost," she said.

Concluding her remarks, Salma stressed that the success of the peace process requires serious and practical steps, foremost among them guaranteeing the leader's physical freedom. She added that continued delays will not serve efforts to reach a solution, while achieving this step would help strengthen dialogue and move the process toward positive outcomes that benefit all the peoples of the region.
