The East Kurdistan Free Women's Society (KJAR) released a written statement to address the rumours about Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan.

KJAR said, “We do not deem the rumours as baseless and we take them very seriously. For this reason, we call on all pro-freedom peoples in Iran, especially our patriotic people in Eastern Kurdistan, to spring into action as they did during their rebellion in 1999 and to claim their own leader.”

The statement said KJAR believed that the people of Eastern Kurdistan would do their best to push back the attacks on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and called on them to go into action until news from Abdullah Öcalan are received.

Under the motto "Let's destroy the walls of Imrali with our struggle, put an end to isolation and realize Leader Apo's physical freedom", KJAR called on the people of Eastern Kurdistan and their friends to join the resistance to remove the Imrali system.

KJAR added, "It is time to destroy the walls of Imralı, it is time to liberate Leader Apo, to kindle the Newroz fire against the current Dehaks."
