A-Infos (en) France, UCL - Anti-imperialism, January 8 in the street with the Kurdish left, truth and justice for Fidan, Sakîne and Leyla (ca, de, it, fr, pt)[machine translation]

The Libertarian Communist Union calls for demonstrations on January 8 in Paris 
against the oppression of Kurdistan and for the truth about the triple 
assassination, in Paris, of activists Fidan (Rojbîn) Dogan, Sakîne Cansiz and 
Leyla Saylemez. ---- On Wednesday January 9, 2013, the Kurdish activists Sakîne 
Cansiz, Fidan Dogan (Rojbîn) and Leyla Saylemez were coldly executed by a bullet 
in the head, in the premises of the Kurdistan Information Center, located at 147 
rue La Fayette, in Paris . ---- The investigation carried out in France revealed 
a number of clues showing that the alleged murderer, Ömer Güney, arrested a few 
days after the crime, had acted on behalf of the Turkish Secret Service (MIT), as 
confirmed by the indictment of the Prosecutor of the Republic in this affair: 
"numerous elements of the procedure allow to suspect the implication of the MIT 
in the instigation and the preparation of the assassinations."

However, the death of Ömer Güney , on December 17, 2016, one month before his 
trial which was to begin in Paris on January 23, 2017, deprives us of a public 
trial which would have made it possible to judge not only the executor, but also, 
and above all, the sponsor, the Turkish state!

EXPRESSION

Saturday January 8, 2022 in Paris

Gathering at 11 a.m. Gare du Nord, departure at 12 p.m. towards Place de la 
République

While the investigation had been completed in May 2015, and while we were aware 
of Güney's serious health problems, as soon as he was arrested, why was the trial 
set for such a distant date? By postponing the holding of this trial, France has 
missed a crucial opportunity to finally judge a political crime committed on its 
territory! Since the 1960s, no less than 43 political assassinations have been 
committed on French soil. They all went unpunished!

Despite the promises made by the Minister of the Interior at the time, Manuel 
Valls, in the aftermath of the assassinations, the French political authorities 
never sought to shed light on this triple assassination. Always anxious to 
preserve their relations with Turkey, they did not even bother to receive the 
families of the victims, nor the representatives of the Kurdish community.

And what about the refusal of the French government to lift the defense secret on 
information that could have allowed the progress of the judicial investigation? 
Deprived of this information, the judges in charge of the investigation finally 
closed the file without being able to go back to the sponsors who are however known.

Until when will France turn a blind eye to the drift of the Turkish regime which 
not only permanently violates the rules of the rule of law and those of local 
democracy, but which also intends to crack down on Europe? where he deploys his 
agents in charge of spying and eliminating his opponents?

The death of the alleged murderer does not dampen our determination to fight for 
truth and justice! The performer or one of the performers is dead, but the 
sponsors are still alive and free! The silence of the French authorities is 
deafening. We demand from them all the light on these assassinations and, 
finally, justice!
