Commemorating the three Kurdish women murdered in Paris, the Kongra Star Assembly said, "We need to achieve great gains. Let's make 2024 the year of justice and revenge for the martyrs."
Kongra Star, the umbrella organization for women in North-East Syria released a statement on the occasion of the 11th anniversary of the triple murder of Sakine Cansız (Sara), Fidan Doğan (Rojbîn) and Leyla Şaylemez (Ronahî) by the Turkish state in the French capital Paris on January 9, 2013.
Kongra Star also paid tribute to the victims of what is called the second Paris massacre, in which Emine Kara (Evîn Goyî), member of the Executive Council of the KCK, Mîr Perwer (Mehmet Şirin Aydın) from the Kurdish cultural movement and long-time activist Abdurrahman Kızıl were murdered in front of the Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Cultural Centre on 23 December 2022.
The statement by Kongra Star Assembly drew attention to the struggle of the martyrs of both massacres in Paris, saying: "We promise that we will avenge the martyrs by defeating the racist and fascist forces. We will always resist the massacres in Paris and all kinds of massacres against our people and our pioneers, and we will carry our struggle to the highest peak. We will avenge our companions. We must fight with all our strength with the awareness that the line of resistance is the line of life. As women, we need to achieve great political and social gains. Women's revenge is the strengthening of political women's consciousness."
Kongra Star Assembly appealed to all women's organizations, initiatives and movements, saying: "Let's make 2024 the year of justice and revenge for the martyrs".
