French Democratic Kurdish Community Centers (CDK-F) co-chair Murat Ceylan condemned the attack of the French police against the protesters in Strasbourg.

The co-chair said that France, which did not tolerate even a democratic action by the people, served the fascist Turkish state, colonialist states and the ISIS mentality with this attack.

Ceylan said: “We condemn this attack by the French state against the democratic action of the Kurdish people in Strasbourg today. The Kurdish people want to draw attention to the 22-year isolation imposed on Rêber Apo [Abdullah Öcalan]. As the Council of Europe, the European Court of Human Rights and the CPT are here, our people have rightly been protesting and making promises in front of these institution buildings for 22 years to end this isolation.

As of today, the isolation on Rêber Apo continues under the supervision of the Council of Europe and the CPT. In other words, they continue to protect Turkey.

Today, the Kurdish people have been attacked while holding a civil democratic action. In fact, today's attack has served the fascist Turkish state, colonialist states and therefore a mentality like ISIS.

France has brutally approached the representatives of the movement that is fighting against threats such as ISIS against its own people. We salute the resistance of our people here. We say that the fascist Turkish state and its collaborators will definitely lose. The people's resistance to freedom and democracy will definitely win."
