The Revolutionary Youth of Tirbespî protects the agricultural fields TIRBESPÎ - The Committee of the Revolutionary Youth Movement of the Social Protection Forces (HPC) of the city of Tirbespî is carrying out night patrols to protect agricultural fields. These activities are organized in the context of protecting the legitimacy and strategy of the revolutionary people's war. In order for society not to lose its freedom, it must be able to protect itself. When a foreign power forces the community, or only a small part of it, to carry out military activity, society falls under their control and loses its will and freedom.

International Criminal Court requests arrest warrants for Israeli government and Hamas leadership The International Criminal Court has requested arrest warrants for parts of the Israeli government and Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the course of the Gaza war since October 7. Affected are Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, War Minister Yoav Gallant, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as well as the leader of the military wing Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the organization. A decision on the arrest warrants now lies with a panel of several judges of the court. This is the first time that the ICC has sought an arrest warrant against a close ally of the USA. The arrest warrant would make it difficult for the persons concerned to travel to states that are part of the ICC. Israel, the USA and large parts of the Middle East are not. @Jugendinfo

Iranian media confirms death of president and foreign minister After Iranian President Ibrahim al Raisi's helicopter went missing in western Iran yesterday, Iranian media confirmed the 63-year-old's death this morning. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who was on board the plane, was also declared dead. The rescue teams found no signs of survivors at the crash site. While the Iranian regime declared national mourning, the first spontaneous expressions of joy were said to have occurred yesterday evening. When it became clear that the helicopter would not be found before dark, fireworks could be seen in various cities. Raisi is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of demonstrators who lost their lives during the protests following the murder of the young Kurdish woman Jina Amini by Iranian security forces, and for the execution of dozens of opposition activists. @Jugendinfo

Turkey's deception: Ankara's role in the Palestinian genocide The genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian people, which has entered an even more horrific phase after the Hamas attacks of October 7, has been loudly condemned by Erdogan and other members of the AKP-MHP regime that rules Turkey. In recent days the Erdogan regime has taken more concrete steps, such as banning the export of Turkish exports to Israel. As much as Turkey has expressed solidarity with the Palestinians, as much as Erdogan has presented himself as the leader of the Muslim world and champion of the Palestinians, one has to wonder what is driving the increasingly complicated relations between Turkey and Israel and Turkey and the Palestinians. Turkey's actions, on the surface seem to be in support of Palestine, but are overshadowed by its complicity in fueling the very oppression it claims to oppose.

Arthur Pye: So many ways that the Rojava project offers an instructive example for our own organizing, like their directly democratic local assemblies.

Kobani trial: AKP-MHP regime imposes draconic sentences on Kurdish & socialist opposition leaders. Selahattin Demirtaş sentenced to 43 years in prison, Figen Yüksekdağ to 32 years. This shows that the regime is in no way considering a political solution to the Kurdish question! When the judge in the Kobane Trial started to read a summary of the 130 page decision, lawyers protested amid chants of “Long live the resistance Kobane” & “Women, Life, Freedom”. The AKP-MHP stance after their latest leection defeat becomes more & more evident. War against the Kurdish people, the Kurdish Freedom Movement & all progressive forces is driving their policies.
