As the total isolation imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan enters its fourth year, the "Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, a political solution to the Kurdish question" initiative launched by friends of Kurds worldwide on 10 October 2023, continues with various events.

As part of the events to be held in October, a panel on Kurdistan, the situation of Kurdish women and isolation will be held at the Berenstein Amphitheatre of the University of Geneva in Geneva, tomorrow, Saturday, at 19:00.

HDP former MP Ayşe Acar Başaran, a PCR (Communist Revolutionary Party) representative, and female activist Nadina who remains in Rojava will participate in the panel as speakers.

The panel will be jointly organized by the Geneva Democratic Kurdish Society Center (NCDK-C) and the Swiss Kurdish Women's Union (YJK-S). The panel will also be supported by the PCR and the Serhildan group.

The statement prepared on behalf of the Preparatory Committee said: "The gains of the revolution must be defended and the oppression in Kurdistan must be ended. While Netanyahu in Israel continues his genocidal frenzy, Erdoğan bombs Kurdish villages, burns forests and occupies larger and larger parts of Kurdistan. Abdullah Öcalan, the thinker of the Kurdish Freedom Movement, has been kept in complete isolation on the island of Imralı in Turkey for over 25 years."

The statement added: "The Turkish and Israeli governments have not hesitated to continue genocide for decades to ensure their sovereignty. In contrast, the Kurdish freedom struggle and the Rojava revolution, the Palestinian struggle and the Arab Spring demonstrate the spirit of the oppressed and the will to resist. These struggles can pave the way for a society built on a new foundation that alone will guarantee the right of the peoples to self-determination and lead to the liberation of the peoples of the Middle East and the entire world."
