WHY ISN'T THE KDP RELEASE THE BODIES TO THEIR FAMILIES

 

Dirbêsiyê's Sêgir Town Council Co-chair Wisam Mehmûd Osman stated that they would not take a step back until the bodies were received, and said, "We came here from Dirbêsiyê two days ago. We are here to say enough is enough to the Bashur government. It must stop betraying its people. Bashur Kurdistan must be released from Erdogan's influence. How long will Massoud Barzani hold talks with Turkey and murder us? Now the bodies of 5 guerrillas are in their hands. 2 of these 5 bodies are from Rojava. Why don't they release the bodies to their families? Because they don't want the truth to be revealed. But we will reveal this truth with our actions. 

 

HOW LONG WILL THEY BETRAY?

 

Serêkaniyê's Til Town Council Member Daniyal Şêxî stated that the KDP has once again declared its hostility towards the Kurds by not releasing the bodies, and said, "Our sit in continues on its 21st day. We will not give up our sit in without our bodies. Guerrilla and Turkish soldiers are fighting. What are the Barzani's Peshmerga doing here? The Barzani family has become Turkey's slave. We will take back the bodies of our children and give them a proper funeral just like they deserve. We will resist until it is done."
