Activists from the student collective LUNA in Bologna condemned the murder of academic Nagihan Akarsel by the Turkish secret service MIT and called for a stop of feminicides worldwide. 

The activists took a picture with a banner that had the names of Nagihan Akarsel and Jîna Amini and the Slogan "Jin Jiyan Azadî" written on it in front of Casa Vacante - a house they occupied last week because of the ongoing housing crisis in Bologna that leaves many students and precarious workers homeless. 

They said that "for days, the slogan "Jin Jiyan Azadî" has been shouted around the world.  With these three words, the whole world says no to despotic regimes and calls for women's liberation. The assassination of Nagihan is directed against the ideological basis of this slogan, the revolutionary science of Jineolojî that Nagihan was working on. This attack is part of the Turkish state's concept of annihilation against the Kurdish liberation movement and in particular the liberation of women.  It is an attack on the universal spread of the Kurdish women's struggle for freedom".

The activists then voiced their solidarity with the women fighting in Rojhelat, Iran and elsewhere, stating that "the feminicide of Nagihan Akarsel came at a time when women across the Middle East, from Kabul to Tehran, from Rojava to Rojhelat, are rebelling against patriarchy.  The patriarchal capitalist system has always responded to this resistance with war, violence and feminicides.  But the example of Jîna in Iran also shows how things can be different, how the outcry can and must be followed by an uprising". 

Their statement then finished with a call for international solidarity and for the adaption of Jineologji: "Let us support these uprisings by continuing to shout Jin Jiyan Azadî! Let us all continue Nagihan's fight by making women's liberation the basis of our research, our thinking, our practice, the future society! Şehid Namirin!"
