In Amed, supporters of Hüda Par are becoming increasingly violent. The Islamist party, which entered the Turkish parliament last year on the AKP list with four MPs, has links to the Kurdish Hezbollah, which committed murders in Kurdistan in the 1990s as a paramilitary organization (Hizbulkontra) on behalf of the state.

In June this year, a cultural event in a park in Amed was attacked by a mob shouting "Allahu Akbar". The attackers were released after being questioned. Last week, three masked men fired shots at cafes in the old town district of Sûr. In the last two months, a total of five incidents have been reported in which the way of life of women in particular has been attacked.

The fact that the Kurdish-Islamist movement is being supported by the Turkish government is confirmed by DEM politician Ceylan Akça Cupolo. The Amed MP told ANF that what former Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu had announced as a "strategic step and sociological offensive" had been seen in the city over the last 45 days. Akça Cupolo said: "In our opinion, these are not individual actions or isolated cases. This is poison cooked up by the police and secret service to lure the people of Kurdistan. It is quite obvious that Hizbulkontra has also joined the AKP-MHP coalition."

Akça Cupolo added: “The state wants to fight the Kurdish freedom movement with a "military-political structure similar to ISIS," and has revived Hizbullah, which had been temporarily put on hold, for this purpose. The first target of attacks are women, because women's liberation is the central theme of the Kurdish movement and is what makes it strong. The attacks are intended to exclude women from social life and push them out of public spaces.”

For this reason, it is not to be expected that the judiciary will take action against the perpetrators, warned the DEM MP, who said: "Against this historical and current background, we have no choice but to stand up for our shared living spaces ourselves and to ensure our defense. In a country where law and security have collapsed, no other solution is apparent."
