KCK calls on the Kurdish public and all women’s organizations to take action to find out the fate of Azime Arsun and to prevent the KDP from handing her over to the Turkish state in order to support the fascist Erdoğan’s election campaign.
The Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) Foreign Relations Committee released a statement concerning seriously ill politician Azime Arsun who was detained at Hewler airport and said that the KDP and its intelligence service Parastin are responsible for her fate.
The statement released by the KCK Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday said:
We are currently living through an important historical period leading towards the defeat of Erdoğan’s fascism. The fascist AKP-MHP regime, which has committed genocide against our people, continues its attacks together with all the anti-Kurdish and collaborating elements until the last moment. The resistance of Leader Apo [Abdullah Öcalan], our people and the freedom guerrilla has brought the fascist regime to the brink of collapse.
During such times, we have recently been informed that our friend Azime Arsun, who has been a part of the freedom struggle of our people and who is seriously ill, was detained at Hewlêr airport. Our friend Azime Arsun, who wanted to go abroad for treatment, was stopped and detained at the airport. Then she was kidnapped by the KDP’s secret service Parastin and taken to an unknown destination. Information that our friend was kidnapped by Parastin and then handed over to the Turkish MIT has also emerged. We have not received any concrete information about this. But it is clear that our comrade Azime Arsun has been abducted by the collaborator Parastin without any record. Therefore, there is a risk that our friend, who has a severe heart disease, will be handed over to the Turkish state.
It is a great shame for the KDP to detain a revolutionary Kurdish woman in this way and to try to use her for its dirty relations with the Turkish state. The KDP and Parastin are therefore responsible for the fate of our friend Azime Arsun.
On this basis, we would like to call on the Kurdish public and all women’s organizations to take action to find out the fate of our friend Azime Arsun and to prevent the KDP from handing her over to the Turkish state in order to support the fascist Erdoğan’s election campaign."
