Zenûbiya Women's Community made a statement at the Beledî Stadium in Raqqa against the Turkish occupation in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) and Rojava.

The press statement was read by Xûd El Îsa, spokesperson of Zenûbiya Women's Community.

The statement drew attention to the guerrilla resistance against ISIS and said, “Guerrilla forces, the children of the region, wrote epics in the resistance against ISIS and saved many lives in Iraq and South Kurdistan to defend the region and peoples in the spirit of the uprising.”

Noting that ‘unforgettable tragedies’ had taken place in Syria and Iraq in the past years, the statement continued: “In this tragedy, the most brutal forms of torture were applied to women who lost their security and peace and were driven from their countries. Yazidi women abducted by ISIS gangs during the attacks on 3 August 2014 were subjected to all kinds of torture."

“The Turkish state has sent nearly a thousand ISIS gangs to South Kurdistan to use them in attacks against guerrillas in order to realise its occupation plan. The Turkish state's co-operation with ISIS clearly reveals the extent of its enmity against the peoples of Syria and Iraq,” the statement underlined.

Condemning the attacks of the occupying Turkish state against South Kurdistan, Zenûbiya Women's Community called on the peoples of Syria and Iraq to “unite and mobilise against terror.”
