KCK statement on International Human Rights Day

In a written statement on 10 December, International Human Rights Day, Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) Executive Council Presidency said that the denials of fundamental rights of Kurdish people is the major humanitarian issue in Kurdistan.  

Referring to the most recent KCK operations against Kurdish politicians, KCK Presidency pointed out that the AKP government aimed to bring the Kurdish politics to an end and to remove opportunities for Kurdish people's involvement in politics by means of detention and arrest operations across the Kurdish region.

Mentioning PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) leader Abdullah Öcalan's call to end the hunger strike by Kurdish prisoners last month, KCK remarked that the ending of the strike created a positive atmosphere  which, it underlined, was however sabotaged by the AKP government by pressing the button for the removal of legislative immunity of BDP (Peace and Democracy Party) deputies as well as a new expansive KCK operation which ended up with the detention of hundreds of people in the last one week.  

"The AKP regime's authorities do nothing but deceive the society and the world opinion by reflecting Turkey as if a land of freedoms and unrestricted opportunities for politics while carrying out operations to completely eliminate the Kurdish politics".

KCK ended its statement calling on militant Kurdish youths and all patriotic Kurdish people to lead public resistance by joining guerrila ranks and enhancing the movement of civil insurrection against the AKP regime.
