The HBDH statement said: "Where there is oppression and violence, riots are legitimate and resistance is inevitable. Our history has been written with rebellions, heroic resistance and has been carried to today. May is one of the most significant months of this history and has taken its place in history as the month of resistance."

The statement listed the martyrs and paid tribute to each and everyone of them and added: "Today, every dynamics of rebellion, every activist should go one step further. We must turn the reaction of the peoples into rebellion and rebellion into resistance. We should meet the neighborhoods, districts, factories and mountains with the spirit of May. Combining consciousness and courage with talent to defeat fascism.

Let's develop and move forward the struggle against fascism and reactionary policies with the united perspective of struggle and the spirit of comradeship at every level."
