Vigil demanding freedom for Abdullah Öcalan continues at Maxmur Camp

The vigil for the freedom of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan continues at the Martyr Rüstem Cudi Refugee Camp in Maxmur.

A new group take over the vigil for Abdullah Öcalan, which has been going on in Maxmur camp since 20 July, every 5 days.

Activists who participated in the vigil demand the physical freedom of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan.

Leyla Hilalî told RojNews: “Our protest was organized against the severe isolation imposed on our Leader. In the last 3 years, the isolation imposed on our Leader has become even heavier. All kinds of rights and legal violations are being committed against our Leader. We have been continuing our vigil for 4 months. As women and mothers, we took our place in the 28th group of this event. Every member of the society participates in this event. We will do whatever we can to break this isolation. During the vigil, we sometimes watch Leadership documentaries, and sometimes we hold discussions with people who come to visit us.”

Calling all women to stand by Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, Leyla Hilalî said: "What is expected from us now is to protect the current process. It is time to stand up against isolation, betrayal and occupation. I invite women all over the world, especially Kurdish women, to support the work our Leader has done for women."

Kamuran Mijini, one of the vigil activists, said that they will continue their actions until the physical freedom of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan is ensured and added: "We started the vigil on 20 July. Women, young people, children and the elderly all come to visit us. We will continue our actions until we achieve freedom for our Leader.”
