“Afrin will be liberated through women’s struggle”

The hunger strike launched by Kongreya Star against the attacks of the occupant Turkish state and allied mercenaries in Afrin has ended.

On Saturday, a three-day hunger strike was started under the lead of women’s movement Kongreya Star in protest at the invasion and inhumane attacks of the Turkish forces and allied mercenaries in Afrin. The hunger strike was staged in a tent set up in the village of Aqîbê in Afrin’s Sherawa district.

On the last day of the action, participants laid emphasis on the importance of continuing the struggle for the liberation of Afrin.

Hundreds from Shehba’s Fafin district and its villages, as well as Afrin citizens currently staying in camps in Shehba visited the tent on Monday.

Speakers from Fafin district Assembly, Berxwedan Camp administration, Democratic Autonomous Administation and Afrin Canton Assembly pointed out Afrin people’s resistance to occupation, stressing that people’s resistance and insistence to return to Afrin continue.

Speakers also highlighted the importance of Kurdistan National Unity and called on international human rights organizations to act against the ongoing barbarity in Afrin.
