West Papua Internationalist express our solidarity with International friend’s solidarity with friends on hunger strike in London, and demand the release of all our Kurdish political prisoners was detained 7 Kurdish activist in London, Kurdish political prisoners in Rohjilat, Bashûr, and Bakûr Kurdistan by the Turkey occupier, Iran occupier, Syria occupiers and Iraq occupier in indigenous Kurdish lands.
We were marching from Green Wood Street with other Kurdish friends, West Papua, other progressive organisations based in London, and other internationalist organisations in stand solidarity for the hands of Kurds in London and whole Kurdish diaspora.
The internationalists said: “We believe there has to be internationalism in a globally connected world, to hold systems of power to account, and condemn the impunity of nation-state actors.
To build societal strength, we can not stay silent. Our silence allows state violence to continue dismantle our rights to be free to speech regarding on going injustice our Kurdish people in Rohjilat (occupied by the Iran), Bashûr (occupied by the Iraq), Bakûr and Rojava (occupied by the Turkey), and Syria (occupied in Rojava) for our right to be free as oppressed nation from oppressors in our lands.
The Kurdish Freedom Movement at its heart is the work of collaborating international revolutionaries from Turkey against the coloniser in Bakûr Kurdistan. They were proud traitors of their national identity, they were able to critically look at their political situation, and realise true democratic organising must be without nation state borders.”
The internationalists added: “Those of us born under British State rule, want to declare ‘not in our name!’ these acts of violence against Kurdish people are not new. We see the truth behind British state intervention and rule across the globe and throughout history. We attest the outrageous division of the Middle East by hegemonic state powers following the First World War.
Nation-states to this day greedily grasp the Middle East, intentionally causing violent chaos and displacement for their own interests.”
The internationalists reminded that “in November 2014, millions of people around the world took to the streets to express their solidarity with the resistance against ISIS. This time has come again, and it is our responsibility as internationals, to understand the unfolding situation, and to not compromise on truth due to complexity.
We as internationalists are following the progression of the Autonomous Administration in North East Syria, as we grapple with the idea of freedom, autonomy and women’s liberation in our context.”
The internationalists said: “We demand the freedom of all Kurdish political prisoners but especially the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan, who has been in isolation since 1999 by the Turkey occupier government in our Indigenous lands.
We believe that the Autonomous Administration will play an important role in the democratic future of Syria.” Therefore, as oppressed nation we, West Papuan people stand solidarity for Kurdish communities in London and diaspora.
