Prisoners in Adana Kürkçüler F Type Closed Prison sent a letter to the French Consulate, asking French authorities to investigate into the December 23, 2022 massacre at Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Cultural Centre in Paris.

Mazhar Güler, one of the prisoners, shared the application letter through his family. The letter sent to the French Consulate on January 2 includes the following:

“We are faced with an overwhelmed AKP-MHP alliance that thinks it can maintain its existence by ignoring everyone but itself, and attacks all the values of the Kurdish people, murdering them. The whole world remains silent towards this barbaric regime that attacks the Kurdish people and their gains by recruiting mercenary groups in the Middle East and all over the world. France had already become a partner to the Turkish state which murdered 3 of our female comrades from the Kurdish freedom movement on January 9, 2013, in Paris. Most recently, it became a party to the December 23, 2022 massacre at Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Cultural Centre in Paris. We know very well that there are others behind this vicious attack. It is the responsibility of the French state to find and expose those who took part in these deadly attacks and those who gave orders. Otherwise, they will also be partners in the most recent killings in Paris. Like European states, France shows an immoral attitude by allying with forces which only favour mutual interests. As defenders of moral values, we strongly condemn this attitude and urge the French state to enlighten the massacre.”
