Support the "Gas Masks for the Guerrilla" campaign

Since April 16, the Turkish army has been making a new attempt to occupy the mountainous regions of southern Kurdistan. An intensive invasion attack on Metina is underway. Combat helicopters, jets and howitzers are massively bombarding the region. In the past Turkish forces have systematically been using chemical weapons against the Guerrilla. That's why we now again call on all progressive and revolutionary forces to participate in the campaign "Gas masks for the guerrillas"!

Long live the revolutionary internationalism!
Smash Turkish fascism!

UPDATE on invasion in Metîna

Since April 21st a large scale invasion is underway in the Metîna region in Southern Kurdistan. Initial fighting on the ground followed a days long bombing campaign. Now after the Turkish invaders have made some minor gains, they are again relying mostly on air raids and artillery shelling while fighting on the ground has decreased.

HPG-Guerrilla: "We have shared initial information about the Turkish occupation army's attack in the Metina region. In the current situation, the Turkish occupation army has established itself in some places in the areas of Şelaz, Kanîreş and Yekmal in the Metina region and has come to a standstill there. It relies on war technology and rains bombs on the battlefield. PDK forces have also taken 3 points to secure the road between Yekmal and Girê Amediyê. The forces of the Turkish occupation state pass these three roads."

Massive criticism of raids on Kurdish media stations

Following the night-time raids on Kurdish exile broadcasters in Belgium, criticism of the police operation is mounting.

In a joint statement, the European Federation of Journalists and the Flemish Association of Journalists write of attempts to intimidate the media and call for the facts of the case to be clarified.
Among other things, police interference in press matters is subject to strict restrictions. In Belgium, investigative authorities are generally only allowed to request information from press organs for the "prevention of crimes that pose a serious threat to physical integrity", and such searches are subject to even stricter rules, which have obviously been violated.

Even the former Belgian Interior Minister Vande Lanotte spoke of a disproportionate operation.

Protests against the searches have been announced for midday today in Brussels and Paris.

Intensified Turkish attacks in Kurdistan & new acts of repression in Europe

A new invasion of southern Kurdistan by the Turkish army & geopolitical maneuvers, raids on Kurd. television stations in Belgium & arrests of activists in France: attacks on the Kurdish people & their liberation movement have been raining down non-stop in recent weeks. This analysis helps us to understand the ins & outs of these attacks

These apparently local problems are not isolated. They are the product of interdependent forces, of international & global change. What happens in one place affects others & how the world reacts to one problem affects others too. The struggle of the Kurdish Freedom Movement is part of a more general struggle against the forces of capitalism & imperialism that are also tearing Palestine apart, undermining social services & ultimately destroying our planet.

People's Defense Forces (HPG) statement on the current war in South Kurdistan:

Turkish occupation army is trying to gain a foothold in Metîna with the support of KDP collaborators: Airborne troops were dropped on Girê Şehîd Ezda (Mountaintop) At the same time, shovel excavators were moved from the KDP-controlled town of Qedîşê to Golka.

HPG: "There are currently occupation troops on the hills of Şehîd Hesen, Şehîd Sorxwîn, Şehîd Ezda and Şehîd Dilbirîn, which belong to Golka. The occupation operation in Metîna, which was launched on April 16, has thus been expanded and entered a new stage."

Regarding the situation in the Heftanîn region, HPG announced that Iraqi troops were stationed in Girê Pîrbila, Neqeba Şabanîkê & Şeranîş.
The move of Iraqi troops close to Guerrilla held territories comes after Turkey and Iraq signed Security cooperation agreement last week. Turkey is using economic pressure in an attempt to pull Iraq into open confrontation with the PKK Guerrillas.

Abdullah Ocalan's message for May 1st:

Abdullah Öcalan has always used the international day of struggle of the working class as an opportunity to analyse the situation of the global socialist movement & to derive perspectives for the struggle for self-determination & socialism in Kurdistan & the Middle East.

After his abduction & imprisonment on the 15th of February, 1999, his opportunities to make himself known to the outside world were limited to short messages that only managed to get past the prison walls via his lawyers.

Nevertheless, he never missed an opportunity to address his movement and the public with messages of greetings on the occasion of the working women's day of struggle on the 8th of March, the Kurdish New Year, Newroz, on the 21st of March or the 1st of May. This text is a message from Abdullah Öcalan on the occasion of the 1st of May demonstration in Amed (Diyarbakir) in 2014.
