News Center- Three Kurdish women politicians - Sakine Cansız (Sara), Fidan Doğan (Rojbîn) and Leyla Şaylemez (Ronahî)- were murdered in Paris on January 9, 2013.  Kongra Star has released a written statement on the 11th anniversary of the massacre.

The massacre committed against three Kurdish women politicians in Paris is known as the first Paris Massacre by the Kurdish people. On December 23, 2022, Emine Kara (Evîn Goyî), artist Mir Perwer (Mehmet Şirin Aydın) and patriot Abdullah Kızıl were killed in a gun attack carried out on the Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Cultural Center in Paris. This massacre is known as the second Paris Massacre by the Kurdish people. In the statement, Kongra Star condemned both massacres.

‘We will strengthen our struggle’

“The martyrs of the Paris massacres did not bow to the capitalist system, fascist forces and their executioners. They fought to build a system based on democracy,” the statement said.

“We vow to take our martyrs’ revenge by defeating the racist and fascist forces. We will always resist all kinds of massacres committed against our people and our pioneers and we will strengthen our struggle. We must fight with all our strength, knowing that life is a resistance. As women, we should achieve great gains both in politics and social life.”

Kongra Star also called on all women's organizations, initiatives and movements to “make 2024 the year of justice and revenge for the martyrs.”
