Shahba- On October 10, 2023, an international campaign titled, “Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, political solution to the Kurdish issue” was launched and 74 press conferences demanding the freedom for Abdullah Öcalan were held around the world on the same day to mark the beginning of the campaign. Many people and organizations from more than 100 countries have expressed their support to the campaign. Women of Afrin and Shahba also express their support to the campaign.

‘The whole world should take a decisive stand’

In an interview with NuJINHA, Slava Cuma first called on all Kurdish people to unite and said, “We, as people from different religions and nationalities, live together and our tragedies and sufferings are the same. For this reason, we should unite to overcome all difficulties and barriers together. The thoughts and philosophy of Abdullah Öcalan defend freedom for all people. Therefore, we express our support to the international campaign demanding freedom for Abdullah Öcalan. The whole world should take a decisive stand so that the AKP government releases a statement about the situation of leader Abdullah Öcalan.”

‘His physical freedom must be ensured’

“Although Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan has been isolated from the world, his thoughts are free,” said Amani Şeyho. “His thoughts and philosophy can unite all people to live in a peaceful and democratic world. His physical freedom must be ensured to find a solution to the crisis suffered by the Middle East.”

‘We will keep struggling’

Newroz Haşim thinks that the international campaign launched for the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan is an effective campaign. “The capitalist and sovereign powers and parties in the region do their best to prevent us from demanding the freedom of leader Abdullah Öcalan. But we will keep struggling to ensure his physical freedom. We will overcome all difficulties and barriers. All Kurdish people, political parties and politicians should unite to end the crisis suffered by the Middle East and all countries in the world.”
