The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and the PYD have demanded an urgent release of their colleagues arrested by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in South Kurdistan last week.
Officials of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) and the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in South Kurdistan held a press conference about their colleagues arrested by the KDP.
The statement said the following:
“On June 10, Autonomous Administration Hewlêr (Erbil) Representative Cihad Hesen and PYD members Mistefa Xelil and Mistefa Eziz went to Hewlêr Airport to receive their guests but ended up being detained by the KDP. Although a week has passed since the incident, we have not received any information about our friends and we are concerned about their safety.
Such incidents strain our diplomatic and political relations. Moreover, the arrests damage the gains of the Rojava Revolution.
These practices do not serve the Kurdish national unity. On the contrary, it serves the enemies of the Kurds. It is especially useful for the Turkish state that seeks to invade Kurdistan.
We condemn the crime committed against our friends. We urge the KDP to release our friends as soon as possible. We also call on the Kurdistan Government, the regional parliamentary assembly, and the political parties in South Kurdistan not to remain silent in the face of what is going on. We hope that everyone will act with national consciousness and fulfil their responsibilities."
