Human shield actions are taking place in the areas near the border in Northern syria. In Kobanê the action has reached day 10.

Ehmed Şexo, a member of the preparatory committee in Kobanê, said: “We have been in the village of Qeremox for 10 days. The peoples of the Euphrates region are taking part in the action with all their structures.”

Kongreya Star, TEV-DEM, Autonomous Administration institutions are participating in the action, said Şexo and added that people from the Euphrates region are visiting the tent put up by activists to express their solidarity.

Şexo said that the activists once again have shown their will and unity against the threats issued by the Turkish state. “The peoples of the region are proving that the Turkish state’s attempt to destroy the democratic nation project and the unity of people has failed. In this region people are committed to common life on the basis of the brotherhood of the peoples and are shouting this loud as a single voice.”

Şexo added that the activists condemned the international silence that surrounded the threats of the Turkish state against the gains of the peoples of the region.

Despite bad weather conditions, the people of Kobanê are continuing their human shield action against the threats of occupation.
