Vigil for Abdullah Öcalan continues in Maxmur

The vigil action launched to demand freedom for Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan at the Martyr Rustem Cudi Refugee Camp in Maxmur has been taken over by the Culture and Arts Committee.

The vigil action initiated on 20 July 2023 to demand freedom for Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan at the Martyr Rustem Cudi Refugee Camp continues on its 397th day with the 78th group.

After a minute’s silence in memory of the Kurdistan freedom martyrs, the 77th group handed over the vigil to the new group.

Kadri Şirîşeyî saluted the resistance of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who has been held captive under isolation conditions for 26 years, and said: "We condemn the isolation imposed on our Leader. This isolation is imposed on the Kurdish people in the person of our Leader. The Kurdish people and their friends are working to break this isolation. We, as Maxmur residents, continue our vigil. We have been resisting since the beginning. Peace cannot be achieved unless the isolation is broken. Leader Apo’s ideas have spread to the world. A revolution began in India with the slogan ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadi’. This slogan is the source of inspiration for all peoples."

After the speech, the vigil was transferred to the 78th group, from the Culture and Arts Committee.
