Led by the Afrin and Shehba Canton Council, thousands of people marched in the Ehdas district of Shehba to protest the isolation imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, the ban on visits, and the attacks and threats of the Turkish state.

The march arrived at Serdem Camp, where it turned into a rally. Afrin and Shehba Canton Council executive Xebat Afrin said: "The invading Turkish state has been imposing a severe isolation on Leader Abdullah Öcalan for more than two and a half years and has banned him from meeting with his family and lawyers, using meaningless punishments as an excuse. The threatening letter they delivered to Leader Abdullah Öcalan shows the fact that the invading Turkish state could not separate the people from the Leader. They cannot destroy the free ideas of Leader Abdullah Öcalan.”

Xebat Afrin said that the refugees and citizens of Shehba are followers of Abdullah Öcalan's ideology, and added that they will resist along this line until his physical freedom is ensured and the occupied areas are liberated.

Kongra Star Executive member Necah Hisên also stated that they will continue to follow Abdullah Öcalan, who showed women the way to freedom.
