NEWS CENTER - A general strike was called in Rojhilat for 22 January against the ratification of the death sentences given to Werîşe Mûradî and Pexşan Ezîzî.

In Rojhilat, a general strike was called against the confirmation of the death sentences given to Werîşe Mûradî and Pexşan Ezîzî. 6 political parties and structures announced in a statement that a general strike was decided for Wednesday 22 January.
 
The statement reads: "Patriotic people of Kurdistan. In an environment where there are no political freedoms, unemployment, poverty, lack of services and many other social problems, the Iranian regime, instead of responding to the demands of the people, sentenced dozens of political prisoners to death in Kurdistan and all over Iran. In such an environment, urgent steps must be taken to stop the death sentence given to Pakshan Azizi and Werishe Muradi. One of these steps is the declaration of a general strike in Kurdistan.
 
General strikes as an act of civil disobedience have always been a tradition in Eastern Kurdistan, especially during sore periods, and today we are facing one of those sore times. The will of public opinion must prevent another tragedy and save the lives of people who have done nothing but love the people and fight for freedom and equality from the death penalty. Undoubtedly, this strike, which imposes itself in a civil and peaceful manner, can once again carry a message to the whole soviety to take action and protect itself as a 'Jin, jyan, azadî (Woman, life, freedom)' revolution. This strike is also a voice for the political prisoners who every Tuesday in more than 30 Iranian prisons courageously say 'No to the death penalty'. We, the organizations and political parties named in this statement, call on all the people of Kurdistan to participate in a general strike across Kurdistan on the 22nd of this month (Wednesday) against the death penalty and against the death sentence against our struggling children. In addition, all workplaces, markets, schools must be closed and in this way show the power of social unity to achieve political and humanitarian goals. This preventive step is an opportunity to save people's lives. Let us show once again that Kurdistan will not remain silent and will take a strong stand against the inhuman political power. Long live the unity and solidarity of Kurdistan society."
 
The names of the political parties and organizations that signed the declaration are as follows:
 
"*Kurdistan Freedom Party
 
*Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK)
 
*Kurdistan Revolutionary Workers Community-Iran
 
*Kurdistan Democratic Party-Iran
 
*Kurdistan Labourers Community
 
*Kurdistan Organization of the Communist Party of Iran"
