Martyr Rûstem Cûdî Refugee Camp Youth Assembly held a torch march to condemn the International Conspiracy that led to the capture of Kurdish people's Leader Abdullah Öcalan on 15 February 1999.

Çiğdem Ürek read the statement on behalf of the Assembly. Reminding that the International Conspiracy had entered its 25th year, Çiğdem Ürek said: “In order to protect their own interests and extend the life of their rule, the international powers targeted the Kurdistan Freedom Movement and all the peoples of the Middle East in the person of Leader Apo [Abdullah Öcalan]. On 15 February 1999, Leader Apo was taken prisoner as a result of an international conspiracy. However, Leader Apo thwarted the conspiracy with his historical resistance.”

Emphasizing that the young people of Maxmur will continue to support Kurdish people's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, Çiğdem Ürek said: “We will continue to resist despite all the attacks of the fascist state. On this basis, we call on all young people to increase the struggle for the physical freedom of Leader Apo.”
