Andre Metayer, author of 'Rojbîna me (Our Rojbin)', spoke to a French audience in Strasbourg about the life and struggle of Fidan Doğan, who was assassinated alongside Sakine Cansız (Sara) and Leyla Şaylemez (Ronahi) in Paris on 9 January 2013.

Andre Metayer, on behalf of the Brittany Kurdish Friendship Association, that collected about 50 photographs to compile the book, presented Doğan as "a humanist militant of the Kurdish people's freedom struggle, a smile always brightening up her face.” 

Sometimes, said Metayer, “I remember Rojbin lecturing, sometimes running around, sometimes cooking in the kitchen, but always with a smiling and bright face”.

Metayer added that although those who ordered the Paris murder are known,  it is necessary that those responsible are convicted in order for justice to be done. It’s not possible to hide behind legal excuses.

“As friends of Rojbin, Sakine and Leyla we will make sure that justice is done."

HDP Europe Council, Fayık Yağızay, the French Friendship Between Peoples Association (MRAP) and representatives of the French women's movement co-promoted the conference with the Strasbourg Zin Women's Association and the Kurdish people's friends in Alsace. 

Association co-president Bernard Revolant asked the Municipality of Strasbourg to tribute a monument to Fidan Doğan. 

Co-president Jacqueline Keleş also said to understand the three revolutionary women it is necessary to understand the paradigm of the Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Ocalan.

HDP Europe Council representative, Fayık Yağızay, reminded the diplomatic battle carried out by the party together with Fidan Doğan in the European institutions. 

“Fidan was a comrade focused on her work, - said the HDP representative - determined, affable with everyone and ultimately also winning a friend”.

The small book of 35 pages has witness accounts from dozens of people. They all know Rojbin, they all have a story to tell.
