Three Kurdish activists were killed and three others injured in the armed attack on 23 December on the Ahmet Kaya Cultural Centre, a Kurdish restaurant and a Kurdish-run barbershop on Rue d'Enghien in the tenth arrondissement of Paris. The victims of the targeted attack are Evîn Goyî (Emine Kara), a member of the KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council, YPJ (Women’s Defense Units) veteran in the fight against ISIS and leading representative of the Kurdish women's movement, musician Mîr Perwer (M. Şirin Aydın) and long-time activist Abdurrahman Kızıl.

While the Kurdish community in France will bid farewell to the three martyrs on 3 January 2023, the Justice Vigil launched at Ahmet Kaya Cultural Centre continues with the participation of more people every day.

Among today’s visitors to the vigil was a delegation from the Assyrian-Chaldean Federation in France. A statement made on behalf of the delegation said, “We stand with the Kurds. We share a common fate in many respects. Your pain is our pain.”
