Increasing support for the vigil at the Rojava border
While the people of North Kurdistan continue to flock to the Suruc district of Urfa on the border of Rojava, the political parties and democratic organisations are also supporting vigil actions started at the border.
The Legal Bureau of the Oppressed (EHB) and the Party of Socialist Re-foundation (SYKP) declared their support, announcing that they will go to the border area and join the vigil action.
Issuing a written statement, EHB called on everyone to destroy the borders in their hearts and minds and to flock to the border in order to defend the Rojava revolution.
Emphasising that the Kobane resistance is the “resistance of humanity”, EHB said “This is a resistance driven by honour and a desire for freedom. Those who remained silent on the massacre in Sinjar, once again prefer to remain silent on what is happening in Kobane. The humanity is dying there, and world is silent! But we will not remain silent”.
EHB further stressed that defending Kobane is to defend humanity, to defend revolution against imperialist assaults, fascist barbarianism and the darkness spread by the gangs, adding that the fate and future of all the peoples of the region are common and that they can and will win together by reclaiming the Rojava revolution in the face of attacks.
EHB said its members would depart today for Suruc in response to the call of the HDP and stand alongside the Kobane people as they have always stood by the oppressed in the streets, in the police stations, prisons, courts, at Gezi, Soma and Roboski.
The co-chair of the Samandag (a district of Antakya) branch of the Party of Socialist Re-foundation, Yusuf Kimyon, announced that they will join the vigil at the border in order to be in solidarity with the people of Rojava fighting against ISIS.
Kimyon said they will join the action at the border in order to say once again no to wars and to display the fraternity of people. Kimyon added that they are and will ever be in solidarity with the Kurdish people in Kobane as they have been in solidarity with the Alevi people in the massacres in Lazkiye and Maan and with the Yezidi people in the massacre in Sinjar.
Kimyon called on all the people of Turkey to join the vigil at the border and to be in solidarity with the people of Kobane in the name of fraternity of all people and peace.
