Statement to the Public

152

The claims circulating on social media, which attribute legal and material responsibility for the killing of three civilians to our forces, are baseless and constitute nothing more than false allegations.

As the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), we affirm that our forces have no involvement in this incident whatsoever.

At this time, the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) are being subjected to systematic and deliberate attacks by a hostile patriarchal mindset.

Targeting civilians constitutes a crime under international law and is contrary to our fundamental principles, and it cannot be accepted in any way.

In order to identify those responsible, uncover the truth about what happened, and ensure justice, our official committee is continuing its comprehensive investigation. Once the investigation is concluded, its findings will be made public clearly and transparently.

General Command of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ)
