The Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), East Kurdistan Women's Society (KJAR) and Free Society of East Kurdistan (KODAR) released a joint statement on Saturday, calling on the people of Iran and East Kurdistan to participate in the general strike against the Iranian state.
“So far, the protests have reached a significant level and have proved to be a proper response to the Iranian regime. However, a more effective campaign needs to be launched. Different methods such as strike actions and protests must be introduced,” the joint statement said.
“We call on women, intellectuals, businesspeople, youth, university students, teachers, political activists, sportspersons, artists and farmers to take the struggle for freedom to a new level and spread it. The revolution 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadi' (Women, Life, Freedom) has become the greatest hope of the 21st century to achieve women's and human freedom with the participation of the people of Iran and East Kurdistan. The popular uprisings have now reached a level where major successes are achieved, and freedom will be secured very soon,” concluded the statement by PJAK, KJAR and KODAR.
