KJK sends a message to Paris rally: Our revenge will be the women's revolution

The KJK sent a message to the Paris rally calling on the people to claim the martyrs and to increase organisation and self-defence.

The Kurdistan Women's Community (Komalên Jinên Kurdistan-KJK) sent a message to the rally organised by the Kurdish Women's Movement in Europe (TJK-E) in Paris to demand justice for Sakine Cansız (Sara), Fidan Doğan (Rojbîn), Leyla Şaylemez (Ronahî), Emine Kara (Evîn Goyî), Mîr Perwer and Abdurrahman Kızıl, who were martyred in two massacres carried out in the heart of the French capital on 9 January 2013 and 23 December 2022.

The message of the KJK Coordination reads as follows:

"We greet all women, our patriotic people and peoples who are walking on the road to a free life with the enthusiasm of our revolution that started with Sakines, became an army and turned into an international women's revolution with Evîns and is today rising from Botan to Zap.

Firstly, we commemorate our comrades Sara (Sakine Cansız), Rojbîn (Fidan Doğan) and Ronahî (Leyla Şaylemez) with deep respect, love and gratitude on the 11th anniversary of the 1st Paris Massacre on 9 January 2013. Our comrade Evîn Goyî, one of the pioneers of the Kurdish Women's Movement, who led the protests against the tenth anniversary of the first massacre at a time when it was covered up and not brought to light, was treacherously murdered in front of the Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Cultural Centre, along with the artist Mîr Perwer and esteemed patriot Abdurrahman Kızıl.

The French state should not cover up this massacre for the second time but should definitely clarify its internal and external political connections. It should carry out a fair trial on the basis of the fact that this massacre is not a judicial case but a political massacre. To us, the perpetrators and instigators of both massacres are clear!

The orders for both massacres were given by the fascist dictator Erdoğan, put into practice by MIT (Turkish intelligence service) and Hakan Fidan, and a MIT agent named Ömer Güney and a fascist named William were given the task of triggerman. History has once again shown that the laws of all European countries, which they claim to be based on principles such as human rights, justice and equality, do not work when it comes to Kurdish people. When it comes to political interests, the French state has even turned its back on its own laws, which have a history of more than two hundred years, and has been a partner in the second Paris massacre by not shedding light on the first one, although 10 years have passed since. As long as the French government does not shed light on these massacres, France will be written in history as a dirty stain and a partner of massacres.

However, during the 11 years that have passed, the Kurdish people and their friends, especially the Kurdish women, have never stopped and have worked with all their might for the elucidation of the massacre and the prosecution of the murderers by claiming the martyrs of Paris. Sara, Rojbîn, Ronahî and later comrades Evin, Mîr, Abdurrahman made great efforts to spread the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle and the Women's Freedom Revolution all over the world. Now, on the 11th anniversary of the massacre, the results of this historical endeavour are evident. With the struggle against the massacre, the consciousness of Kurdish and women's freedom and the organisation developed further gained more strength. The slogan 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadî' (Woman, Life, Freedom) developed by Leader Abdullah Öcalan has become the basic slogan of the 21st century revolutions. Women and peoples created this power of struggle with the claim of being the successors of Saras and Evîns.

The Kurdistan Women's Freedom Movement has laid its foundation with the participation, courage, labour and sacrifice of our friend Sara, and has grown stronger on this solid foundation. Our comrade Sara was the creator of many firsts and fought in every field she was in. For this reason, Leader Öcalan said, 'Sara's struggle is the struggle of the women's liberation movement'. As a matter of fact, the persistent march of Comrade Sara, who created firsts, led to thousands of women seeking liberation to rise up, become conscious, organize and become an army. Evîn Goyî was also one of our comrades who pioneered the consciousness, organisation and command of free women. In her 34 years of struggle, she created great values and shared these values with her comrades, our people and women. The targeting of our comrade Evîn in the second Paris attack is therefore aimed at destroying the women's revolution, the reality of liberatory Kurd and women and the women's freedom struggle that has become universal around the philosophy of ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî’. Again, all these attacks also target our freedom movement, our leader and our freedom goals.

The massacre of our comrades, who were determined and strong pioneers in the way of becoming free women and free people against the Kurdish genocide plan, is not detached and independent of the Kurdish genocide policies and its most important pillar, the Imrali coffin system, and the international conspiracy.

A solution to the Kurdish question against the genocide policies and the prosecution of the perpetrators of the Paris massacres can be possible through the immediate ending of the detention of Leader Öcalan in the Imrali torture system without any legal basis and the physical liberation of Leader Öcalan.

We, as comrades in the struggle, reiterate our promise that we will always carry the torch of free life that we received from Saras and Evins, and we call on all women to claim the memories of these precious martyrs. True devotion is only possible by realising their dreams and goals. All Kurds, women in the first place, can prevent these massacres and conspiracies and hold the conspirators to account by organising their self-defence wherever they are, whether in Kurdistan or Europe, by working hard in the construction of a democratic, ecological and free life paradigm based on women's freedom and by strengthening their organisations.  Women, youth and all our people should stand up in Europe, Bakur, Bashûr, Rojava and Rojhilat against the conspiracy of 9 January and 23 December until both massacres are brought to light and the murderers and instigators are put on trial.

The day is the day to hold the mass murderers to account!

The day is the day to struggle like Sara and Evin!

Meeting with the Free Leader in the Free Country is closer than ever!

Our revenge will be the women’s revolution!"
