Saeed Shirzad and Zanyar Moradi, two political prisoners held at Rajaishahr prison in Karaj, condemned the massive attacks by the Turkish army on the Canton of Afrin in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan) and expressed their sympathy with people.
The statement is as follows:
The Afrin resistance creates an epic, like Kobani
The resistance of Afarin is the continuation of Kobani’s resistance and the fate of the Turkish occupying government would be also the same as the fate of ISIL in Kobani.
Unfortunately, the Turkish army has used widespread military strike through extremist Islamic groups in Kobani. It is not for the first time that Turkey targets the defenceless people, and these attacks are the result of the failure of the Turkish fascist government in the region.
The Rojava Cantons (Syrian Kurdistan) represent a symbol of the democratic society, a symbol of the peaceful coexistence of all nationalities and ethnicities, which can be a democratic model for the entire Middle East. But unfortunately, international societies have chosen not to react to the widespread military strike, coordinated by neighbouring countries.
We, prisoners at Rajaishahr Prison, condemn the attacks of the Fascist Turkish army on the Canton of Afrin and express our sympathy with them. We are certain that the people of Afrin will defeat these aggressive attacks and create another epic story of their resistance.
