In a written statement on the 22nd anniversary of the International Conspiracy, the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) Executive Committee said, “It is very clear that the freedom campaign developed by our movement aims more than anything else to destroy the torture and isolation system in Imrali, which is the symbol of the international conspiracy, and aims to achieve the physical freedom of Leader Apo.”

The PKK statement continued: “We salute Leader Apo, who has demonstrated extraordinary resistance for freedom and democracy against this conspiracy, which has been the most inhumane event in history for 22 years, and everyone who contributed to the resistance.

As it is known, the international conspiracy launched by the US administration on October 9, 1998, was tried to be renewed twenty years later by the current US administration, by putting a bounty on our three friends who take part in the PKK administration. Again, on October 9, 2019, the 21st anniversary of the conspiracy, the conspiracy was tried to be continued by paving the way for the invasion of Girê Spî and Serêkaniyê by the Turkish State. This has led to the occupation of some important cities of Rojava Kurdistan, the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Kurds from their homeland, the murder of hundreds of Kurdish people and the injuries of thousands. The US state is behind all these fascist-genocidal practices by the Turkish Republic.

We know very well that the 9 October 1998 conspiracy aimed at the elimination of the PKK on the basis of the annihilation of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and the finalization of the Kurdish genocide.

The continuation of the conspiracy includes continuing the Kurdish genocide, which forms the basis of the fragmentation and despotism in the Middle East. The Third World War, which has been going on for thirty years, is the outcome of this process.

It is clear that the US administration of the time planned and implemented the 9 October 1998 conspiracy on behalf of the global capitalist system. For 22 years, the main power behind the torture and isolation system in Imrali has been the USA and the Council of Europe.

They are complicit in all the fascist, colonialist and genocidal attacks and massacres carried out by the Turkish State over the Kurdish people and they are against the Kurdish freedom as well as the democratization of Turkey and the Middle East.

Our call to these forces is to give up the mentality and politics of the Kurdish genocide, which is a crime against humanity, and to give up the conspiracy and such hostility to Leader Apo and the PKK.

The Turkish State, which is the guardian of the conspiracy process, has been made the triggerman of the process of continuing the torture and isolation system in Imrali. Along with the international conspiracy, all Turkish administrations have been assigned by the conspiratorial forces to bring the conspiracy to success. This is also the case of the AKP government led by Tayyip Erdogan.

Overthrow of the fascist dictatorship of the AKP-MHP has become imperative for the emancipation of humanity, of the Kurds and women in the first place, and peoples of Turkey.

It is very clear that the conspiracy that wanted to destroy us for the last 22 years was resisted hard and the conspiracy planning has been broken down and failed.

Of course, Leader Apo has been the leader of the period more than ever. With the paradigm change it has implemented, our Party has transformed the PKK from being a ruling and statist party, into an ecological, women's libertarian and democratic socialist party. With the resolution project of democratic autonomy and democratic confederalism based on a free individual and democratic commune, it has revealed the solution of all social problems and thus universalized itself as the leader of all oppressed.

ON THE 23rd YEAR OF THE CONSPIRACY, WE AIM TO ACHIEVE PHYSICAL FREEDOM FOR LEADER APO

Now, as the Kurdistan Freedom Movement and the Kurdish people, we are entering the 23rd year of the struggle against conspiracy with a resistance campaign called ‘Stop Isolation, Occupation, Fascism! Time to Ensure Freedom! "

The campaign announced on September 12 has been adopted by all our people, especially women and youth, and democratic humanity. Our heroic guerrilla forces lead our freedom campaign with the heavy blows they deal to the fascist-genocidal enemy.

On this basis, October 10 has been declared globally as "Global Day for Freedom for Leader Apo".

We once again call on all our people and friends, especially women and youth, to join our campaign “Time to Realize Freedom”, to protest stronger against the 9 October conspiracy on its 22nd anniversary, and to join the 'Freedom Day for Leader Apo' on October 10th. We invite them to participate in their actions more strongly in every field and to win freedom!”
