The Central Executive Committee (MYK) of the Democratic Regions Party (DBP) released a statement regarding the freedom rally on 13 October, which was marked by the resistance of thousands of people despite bans and preventions.

The DBP statement on its X account said, “Our “Freedom Rally Against Isolation” that we held in Amed against the isolation system, which started in the person of Mr Öcalan and now affects the whole society, was concluded in accordance with its purpose despite all bans, pressures and obstructions.”

The statement continued: “The peoples of Turkey and Kurdistan have once again expressed their will for a democratic solution, a lasting peace and the future of freedom. So, the peoples have clearly demonstrated their attitude against isolation and have given a historical responsibility to the interlocutors of the solution. On this occasion, we would like to express our sincere thanks and respect to all our comrades who laboured during this period in order to bring the country out of the darkness of isolation, to our people who turned the streets into a field of resistance, to our friends who worked day and night during the preparation process of the rally, to all our friends who offered their support and stood by us. We will continue to raise our struggle against isolation in every field, and we reiterate that we will practice the strongest embrace in our struggle for freedom and justice.”
