On a daily basis, a comprehensive and multi-pronged attack is being carried out against our region and the entire Syrian territory. First of all, in Aleppo, the Syrian people were left facing great dangers and massacres. At the same time, this attack has included our region in the north-east of Syria and an unparalleled resistance is being raised against these big attacks on a daily basis. Especially in the region of Shehba and Aleppo, especially women, our people are putting up a great resistance against these attacks on a daily basis.
The people of Sheikh Maqsud and Eshrafiyeh, who have years of experience in war and resistance, once again organized themselves against these attacks and defeated the attacks of the Turkish occupation gangs dozens of times in the name of Sheikh Maqsud and Eshrafiyeh Defense Forces.
Of course, the war continues in many ways and in a difficult way, and it is unfortunate that a number of young men and women of the Sheikh Maqsood Defense Forces who were injured were captured by the gangs. These barbaric gangs, who do not recognize the morals and laws of war in any way, brutally violate the dignity of captive women and use them as a propaganda tool on their media outlets. With their words like we will once again sell you in the markets, they express their anger towards women. These are inhuman acts and should not be accepted in any way. We, as the YPJ Women's Protection Units, condemn these brutal actions of the Turkish occupation gangs against female prisoners and we say that they will be avenged. Also, we call on the women's and human rights institutions to take care of these young captive women who were protecting their neighborhood and city, and we insist that their right to be captives should be protected.
In 2014, ISIS carried out the actions of the Turkish occupation gangs against these young captive women in Shengal, Mosul and Raqqa and sold thousands of women in the markets. Undoubtedly, this is also a sign of the awareness of the man's authority that has reached its peak today in the person of ISIS and Erdogan's gangs. For the best reason, they know that Kurdish women have written heroic epics against these brutal acts and are resisting until the end. For that reason, they show the level of their hostility towards women with these anti-human actions.
First of all the Red Cross and Amnesty International, we call on women's rights organizations, all social organizations, famous, democratic and freedom-loving people to take care of these female prisoners and primarily the Middle East at the international level to expose the reality of terror and brutality of the occupying Turkish state and its mercenaries and demand the necessary account. In this matter, we hold the Turkish state especially responsible for these prisoners.
As YPJ, we once again condemn the capture of female fighters of the Sheikh Maqsood Defense Forces and we say that we will demand accountability from the occupying Turkish state and its mercenaries in the resistance fronts. In this sense, in these historical days when there is a comprehensive attack against our region and Syria in general, we will protect women and our entire people on the front lines of the war. Also, we call on all young women to take their place in the defense fronts in every area where they are and join the ranks of YPJ. Only in this way will we be able to protect ourselves and our territory.
