In response to this situation, solidarity and unity are essential! On the occasion of the second anniversary of Zhina’s state-sanctioned murder, civil and human rights activists within the country have called for a general strike across Kurdistan on Sunday, September 15, 2024.

We, the undersigned civil and human rights organizations, declare our support for this call and urge the people of Kurdistan and Iran to participate in the general strike in a peaceful and civil manner. We also call on the international community to increase oversight of human rights abuses against the Kurdish people in Iran.
