The KCK Executive Council Co-presidency has vehemently condemned the massacre carried out by ISIS fascists in Hasekê, and offered its condolences to the families and the people of Kurdistan.

The KCK Executive Council Co-presidency called on all democratic forces to unite against the fascist attacks of ISIS, adding that those responsible for the massacre would definitely be called to account.

The KCK Executive Council Co-presidency has issued a written statement regarding the massacre in Hasekê on 20 March, vehemently condemning the attack and offering its condolences to the families and the people of Kurdistan.

The statement said those who carried out the attack should be aware that they would pay many times over for the slaughter that they had wrought. The statement continued:
“Our struggle will continue until Kurdistan is entirely cleansed of ISIS fascism. ISIS fascists are the target of our struggle wherever they are, not just in Kurdistan. This fascist gang that is the enemy of humanity, history, culture and nature must be wiped off the face of the earth. Following its defeats in Kobanê, Sinjar, Til Hemis and Til Temir the ISIS fascists are resorting to savage massacres out of vengeance. But nothing will break the people’s spirit of resistance, on the contrary, it will heighten the resistance.”

The statement continued, noting the pressing need for joint struggle to achieve democratisation and freedom in the Middle East. “Rojava is in the vanguard of this struggle today,” the statement said, adding that regional states and international powers that were opposed to democratisation in the region had played a major role in the emergence of organisations such as ISIS. The statement called on these forces to abandon the policies that were inflicting such pain on the peoples of the region.

The statement concluded by calling on all democratic forces to join the Kurdish people in struggle against ISIS fascism, and reiterated that those responsible for the Hasekê massacre would be called to account.
