The KCDK-E issued a written statement marking the anniversary of the February 15 conspiracy against Abdullah Öcalan.

The KCDK-E said: "‘Our people, along with the women and youth leading the march for freedom, are escalating the struggle for Öcalan's freedom on the anniversary of the 15 February international conspiracy. The forces that have pursued a century of denial, annihilation, and genocidal policies have been defeated.

For the past century, the persecution and genocidal attacks against the Kurdish people have continued with international support. However, these efforts have been thwarted under the leadership of Abdullah Öcalan, who has resisted the isolation system of Imrali Prison for 26 years.  The Turkish state, which has mobilized its economic and militaristic resources to finalize the Kurdish genocide, has suffered a complete failure."

The statement continued: "The slogan ‘You Cannot Darken Our Sun (Abdullah Öcalan),’ repeated against the darkness of 15 February, has prevailed.  The Imrali Prison torture system has collapsed, proving ineffective. The heroic struggle led by Öcalan and carried forward by our patriotic people have resulted in success. In its 26th year, this victory has reached a critical stage, as Öcalan has taken a historic step forward to advance the struggle. With this decisive move, we have entered a new historical phase, where freedom will gain momentum against genocide, and peace will rise against war. 

All the forces that orchestrated, sustained, and implemented the February 15 international conspiracy have now realized that Öcalan has become the leader of a global freedom movement, representing the will of millions. Those who believed they could eliminate him by imprisoning him in a solitary cell under the İmralı Prison isolation system have now seen that, despite these extreme conditions, he has emerged as the leader of a worldwide struggle."

The statement added: "Öcalan warned humanity about the dangers of a Third World War 20 years ago. He has guided the world, particularly the Middle East, by proposing that peace and freedom are the only solutions to war.

In the 26th year of the international conspiracy, Öcalan has elevated the struggle for humanity to a universal level, offering solutions for a just future. Through his visionary and transformative ideas, the demand for his physical freedom has spread worldwide, bringing it closer to realization. The undeniable reality of the Kurdish people and the global movement for democracy and freedom, led by Öcalan, are paving the way for the world's oppressed communities. The women's liberation struggle and ecological resistance have become a beacon of hope for the emancipation of all marginalized peoples.!

The statement underlined that "Mr. Öcalan is preparing to herald a new breakthrough, marking the 26th year as a turning point in the permanent defeat of the international conspiracy. We eagerly anticipate this breakthrough, believing it will bring hope to the people of Kurdistan, Turkey, and the entire world. 

On Saturday, February 15, we call on the Kurdish people and all their allies to take to the streets in mass marches, especially in Strasbourg and other European cities. Let us unite against the darkness of February 15 under the slogan "You Cannot Darken Our Sun." We urge everyone to mobilize, resist the international conspiracy, and transform this day into a symbol of defiance and solidarity."
