DÊRSIM - The Qers branch of the Great Freedom March arrived in Dêrsim on the 8th day and commemorated Sakine Cansız and Aysel Doğan at their graves.

 

Participants of the "Great Freedom March" launched for the physical freedom of PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, after their march in Dersim, commemorated the politicians Sakine Cansız, who was murdered in Paris, and Aysel Doğan, who died last year, at their graves and promised to continue their struggle.

 

'WE FOLLOW THEIR FOOTSTEPS'

 

Speaking after a minute of silence, DEM Party MP Zeynep Oduncu said, “Comrade Sakine was murdered along with our 2 friends in the middle of Paris. Our three women friends were our friends who shed light and guided us in the Kurdish freedom struggle. Those who committed the massacre have still not been revealed. As women, we embrace their legacy and follow their footsteps. Sakine Cansız said, 'My life was always a fight', yes, her life was always a fight. She was a person who spat on Esat Oktay's face in Diyarbakır prison. We, as people who struggle for freedom to come as soon as possible, know that we will win freedom. In the 8 days of the march, we say once again that steps must be taken as soon as possible for the freedom of Mr. Abdullah Ocalan and the status of the Kurds. The struggle of our friends is our struggle.”

 

AYSEL DOGAN WAS COMMEMORATED

 

Following Oduncu, PKK Leader Abdullah Ocalan's article about the Paris massacre was read. At the commemoration, carnations were left on Cansız's grave. Then, the grave of Aysel Doğan, located in the same cemetery, was visited and a moment of silence was observed.
