On 23 August, the Turkish state bombed a vehicle belonging to Chatr Production with drones in the Seyîdsadiq district of Sulaymaniyah (Silêmanî). The vehicle was carrying journalists. Two of them, Hêro Bahadîn and Gulistan Tara, were killed.

Journalists Peryan Ehmed and Bêrîvan Bergareyî spoke to ANF about the ongoing protests condemning the killing of their two colleagues.

Journalist Peryan Ehmed paid tribute to the killed journalists, and said: "Targeting women shows that the invading Turkish state is afraid of the power of women."

Criticizing those in power in South Kurdistan, the unions and the parties for their silence and indifference against terror and massacres, Peryan Ehmed added: "We will always be on the path of truth and rights. We will not lose our way, and we will respond to attacks and take revenge for our martyrs."

Journalist Bêrîvan Bergareyî said that the terror of the Turkish state is not independent of the support of those betraying our people.

She added: "We condemn this attack. It is not possible for the Turkish state to follow someone without the support of some in South Kurdistan. The enemy thinks we will be afraid, but we will never be afraid. We will follow the path of our martyrs, and, of course, we will respond to their attacks and dirty practices."
