"Jin, Jiyan, Azadî" at boxing event in Oberhausen

Boxing promoter Ismail Özen dedicated the "Universum Boxing Night" in Oberhausen to Jina Amini and the struggling women in the Middle East. Kurdish youth activists drew attention to Turkish war crimes in Kurdistan.

Activists of the Kurdish youth movement drew the attention of thousands of spectators at the "Universum Boxing Night" in the Rudolf Weber Arena in Oberhausen on Saturday to the war crimes of the Turkish army in Kurdistan and the resistance of women in Iran. The young activists wore T-shirts with the inscription "Jin, Jiyan, Azadî" (Woman, Life, Freedom) and a picture of the Kurdish woman Jina Mahsa Amini, who was murdered by the morality police in Tehran, and unfurled banners.


Ismail Özen, Managing Director of Universum Box-Promotion Global GmbH, dedicated the boxing event to Jina Amini and asked the audience to remember the fighting women in the Middle East with mobile phone lights. One banner read "Jin, Jiyan, Azadî" and the audience unanimously chanted the slogan of the Kurdish women's movement.

Another banner showed the photos of 17 guerrilla fighters killed by poison gas, and another called for the Turkish government to be charged with the use of chemical weapons.

In the course of the solidarity action, there were provocations by some groups waving flags of Turkey and Azerbaijan. The provocateurs were removed from the square by security.
