People in North Kurdistan will rally in Mardin's Nusaybin district and Şırnak's Cizre district on Sunday, 22 December, to display solidarity with the Rojava revolution and to protest at the walls of shame built between Rojava and North Kurdistan. The rallies have been organized by the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP).

Kurds in Hakkari's Yüksekova district, Adana and Van will also take to the streets tomorrow to protest the walls of shame and to support the revolution in Rojava.

The People's Initiatives of Mardin, Amed and Urfa have called for mass attendance at the rallies to take place in Nusaybin and Cizre tomorrow.

The Amed People's Initiative stressed that marauding gangs under the control of various states were today attacking the people of Rojava from Turkey, adding: "The people of Rojava have fought heroically at the cost of many lives, as if to say to the world 'I exist and will exist in the future'".

Remarking that “Today the Turkish government, which cannot abide the gains of the Kurds, is continuing the state policy of denial and hostility towards the Kurds", the statement stressed that the Turkish state was developing attacks and doing all it could to intimidate the people of Rojava, adding that the PKK and the Kurdish people would frustrate these attempts."The Kurdish people will not permit this, will not allow a new Lausanne and will remove artificial borders. We should regard the freedom of Leader Apo as our own freedom, and show our legitimate reaction to the refusal to release the sick prisoners", the statement added.

The Initiative called on all patriotic Kurdish people to join the solidarity march with Rojava in Cizre on 22 December to demand that those responsible for massacres be called to account; Rojava, Roboski, Lice, Gever and all the other previous massacres.

The People's Initiative of Urfa stated that the colonialist Turkish state and fascist AKP government aimed to prevent North Kurdistan being influenced by the popular revolution in West Kurdistan by constructing walls of shame. It called on all the people of Urfa to attend the demonstration in Cizre to protest at the massacres carried out in Gever and the policies of the AKP government.

The Mardin People's Initiative also called for support for the rallies to be held in Nusaybin and Cizre on 22 December to protest at the wall built between West and North Kurdistan.
