Turkish war crimes in Rojava/North- & Eastern Syria
During the last days Turkish occupation forces repeatedly targeted civilians in #Rojava /North- and East Syria and just internationally banned cluster bombs
Yesterday multiple civilians were injured due to bombing of Um Al Qura village in #Shehba region in occupied #Afrin. Heavy artillery shelling on Tinibe, a densely populated area in the Shera region injured 13-old boy. The attacks continued today.

Turkey is trying to force displacement of civilians by spreading fear & terror. Unnoticed by corporate media it is on you to raise awareness for the war crimes committed by Turkey in #Rojava

Statement by the International Working Brigades on their motivation to come to #Rojava

“The democratic process developing in Rojava is a process of liberating women. It has an ecological approach to life. As internationalists, we think it is important to make clear that we support the democratic process here and that we are against the silence of the Western countries and even the support for the Turkish aggressor.”

Please share this and the Updates we will be providing to build up pressure on the KDP administration & break the unjust Embargo on Rojava!

Watch the Statement of the International Working Brigades regarding the denied border cross to #Rojava

The group of 26 Internationalist who came to Southern Kurdistan to cross into Rojava where they would have participated in a 21-day Working Brigades program were denied passing by KDP border guards at the Semalka border crossing.

Please share and raise awareness. With public pressure the embargo on Rojava can be challenged!

Statement by the Network for International Friendship, organizers of the Working Brigades:

"We condemn the KDPs collaboration with Turkey, instead of serving the benefit of the people of the region. We condemn KDPs hostility towards Rojava and the Freedom Movement. We stand in solidarity with the people in all parts of Kurdistan struggling for their basic human rights.
For this reason we renew our call for everybody to participate in the next Working Brigade in mid-July to celebrate together the 10th anniversary of the Rojava-Revolution! Let us together break the embargo and together work communally for a better life!"

The internationalist alliances “Women Defend Rojava” and “Defend Kurdistan ” together with the feminist organization “Fight Together! For self-determination and democratic autonomy” published an urgent appeal for solidarity and actions in defense of the people of Kurdistan and the revolution in Rojava:

"It is unacceptable that the media and world public watch in silence as a war of annihilation is waged against the Kurds! The Turkish state is increasingly showing its fascist face, making the possibility of a political solution to the conflict increasingly remote. There is no longer a free press, tens of thousands of members of the opposition are in prison, and elections are being rigged. At this moment in three parts of Kurdistan simultaneous military attacks by Turkey are taking place at an extremely high level.

No state, company or institution should maintain good relations with this Turkish government. Germany is currently Turkey’s most important political and economic partner.
Together with Defend Kurdistan and Women Defend Rojava, we are calling for a decentralized day of action on June 11, 2022.

Fight together with the people in Kurdistan against war, imperialism and patriarchy and for a gender-free, self-determined, ecological life – another world is possible!”

The 1st International Working Brigade has published a statement offering new perspectives on their journey and show the will to challenge the Embargo imposed on Rojava/AANES

"We call on all internationalists and democratic people of the world to support the Revolution and to struggle for peace in Kurdistan. We commit to further actions to break the embargo. For this purpose, there will be a second Internationalist Working Brigade next month to follow our steps and as many as are needed to break the embargo. Despite the fact we were stopped, we did not fail. This is just one part of the immense struggle against fascism, militarism and patriarchy. We will never stop our efforts to build a free life. Serkeftin! (Success)”
