The 76th group took over the vigil action initiated at the Martyr Rustem Cudi Refugee Camp in Maxmur to break the heavy isolation imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and ensure his physical freedom.
The vigil action at the Martyr Rustem Cudi Refugee Camp (Maxmur) was initiated on 20 July 2023 to demand the physical freedom of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and to break the isolation imposed on him. The action was taken over by the 76th group as it entered its 386th day.
The ceremony for the handover of the action at the Martyr Families Institution began with a minute of silence in memory of the martyrs of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle.
Dilşîn Kara then made a statement on behalf of the 75th group before handing over the action to the next group.
The statement said: "Our culture prioritizes the struggle for freedom and human rights. The health and existence of Leader Öcalan are of vital importance to us.
The people of the world, even the fascists and occupying powers, should not deny this truth. Our leader has been held in solitary confinement for 26 years. He has been prevented from seeing his family since 7 July 2019. At the same time, no news had been received from him for 41 months.
The isolation in Imralı is an attack aimed at destroying the culture of the Kurdish people. We are resisting like Leader Apo and will continue to resist. Our culture means resistance. As the 75th group, we also see the physical freedom of Leader Öcalan as our fundamental duty and reason for living. As the women and people of the Martyr Rustem Cudi Refugee Camp, we will never allow fascism to achieve its goals."
