Women politicians in prison: We know where the attacks come from!

The women politicians in prison now under trial in the Kobanê Case against the HDP condemned the attack on the party’s Izmir Provincial Organization and the murder of Deniz Poyraz and said, "We know where the attacks came from."

The women politicians in prison and now under trial in the “Kobanê Conspiracy Case” made a statement about the attack on HDP Izmir Provincial Organization and the murder of Deniz Poyraz through their lawyers.

On behalf of the women on trial, Sebahat Tuncel said: “We condemn the attack on our party on behalf of the women who are on trial in the case against the HDP. We commemorate our comrade Deniz Poyraz with respect. Our condolences to her family, friends and our party. We know where these attacks against our party, the Kurdish people and Kurdish women are coming from.

The representatives of the nationalist, chauvinist, religious and fascist bloc that want to bury the country in darkness, deepen the conflict between peoples and try to keep their power and their rhetoric alive, have prepared the ground for these attacks. Standing against these attacks means to insist on the brotherhood of peoples, peace, democracy and freedom. We invite all forces of democracy and freedom, especially women, to take a stance against this fascist mentality that wants to drag Turkey into the abyss. Jin Jiyan Azadi!”
