In recent days, people of Rojhelat (Eastern Kurdistan) stood up against ISIS (Islamic States of Iraq and Sham) terrorists who aim to capture the border city Kobanî in the last 31 days, but they were met with iron resistance by the YPG (People’s Protection Units) and YPJ (Women’s Protection Units) forces.
With the expansion of terrorist attacks on the Kobanî, Kurds in Rojhelat and Iran strongly condemned the horrific attacks by ISIS over the city and they protested in cities of Kurdistan and Iran like Tehran, Tabriz, Mehabad, Sine, Meriwan, Kirmanshan, Bane, Serdesht, Ciwanro, Bokan, Piranshar and other Kurdish zones.
After the rally in support of Kobanî resistance, in some cities protest turned violent with security forces of the Iranian regime. In capital Tehran which was held a protest in front of UN headquarters, two participants were arrested namely Aso Rostami, 28 years old poet, teacher and child rights activist also Ali Nouri, 21 architecture student, HRANA agency reported.
Also according to ANF report, Iranian troops captured 6 Kurdish activists in city of Serdesht over the Kobanî protest. It is said that the Iranian regime has released 3 of them and 3 others are still in detention with names Sirwan Salihzade, Jiyan Begzade and Wirya Qazizade.
Thousands of people “will most likely be massacred” if Kobanî falls to ISIS fighters, a U.N. envoy said on Friday, as militants fought deeper into the besieged Syrian Kurdish town in full view of Turkish tanks that have done nothing to intervene.
U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura said Kobanî could suffer the same fate as the Bosnian town of Srebrenica, where 8,000 Muslims were murdered by Serbs in 1995, Europe’s worst atrocity since World War Two, while U.N. peacekeepers failed to protect them.
Speaking at a press conference in Geneva, U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura called on the Turkish authorities to allow the flow of volunteers at least and their own equipment in order to be able to enter the city and contribute to a self-defence operation.
In this regard, PYD (Democratic Union Party) Co-President Asya Abdullah, who is in Kobanî taking part in the resistance against ISIS gangs, has said they need an ‘aid corridor’ in order to maintain the resistance, calling on international forces to take notice of this demand.
