KCK on the Turkish state’s current legal framework for the PKK disarmament process: “To say that such a law will be passed, and that its content will be this or that, without meeting and discussing with the Leadership and without taking our Movement’s views, is considered a game, an imposition, and even a conspiracy.” “Neither Leader Apo nor our Freedom Movement will accept a fait accompli.”

The #Brotherhood Academy in the city of #Tirbespiyê organized a volunteer initiative to clean the main streets, with the participation of its administrators and students, with the aim of promoting a culture of volunteer work, maintaining the cleanliness of public spaces, and spreading environmental awareness. Participants emphasized that maintaining the city's cleanliness is a shared responsibility that requires the cooperation of all members of the community.

The clashes in Rojhelat (Eastern Kurdistan; Western Iran) have escalated over night. The clashes escalated around Piranshahr and Sardasht - now 5 Kurdish factions are involved in the clashes. 5 Kurdish Peshmerga have been martyred during these clashes. Expect a major escalation. Iran has deployed large numbers of soldiers to the mountain areas around Sardasht, they will launch a military offensive soon. In Piranshahr they will launch an offensive into the urban areas as well as the mountain areas. In Mahabad the Iranian attack on the mountain areas continues and we expect them to launch raids into urban areas as well. Ground sources are now regularly reporting an influx of Arabic speaking soldiers into Rojhelat from Iraq, entering through the border crossings east of Baghdad.

Since last night, reports from Eastern Kurdistan have indicated intensified Iranian Revolutionary Guard military movements in the Piranshahr-Mahabad-Sardasht area, with IRGC forces reportedly attempting to approach PJAK/YRK areas. Two armed clashes were also reported in Saqqez and Piranshahr between Kurdish opposition fighters and IRGC forces. Casualties are reportedly present on both sides, while further details are still emerging.

PJAK guerrillas struck Iranian soldiers who were attempting to conduct reconnaissance in the Serdeşt region while wearing guerrilla uniforms. The Iranian soldiers—who were conducting reconnaissance in an attempt to ambush the guerrillas—suffered casualties (dead and wounded), who were subsequently transported by ambulance.

Jolani has presented the list of the 70 parliamentarians that he appoints. 70 out of 210 parliamentarians are appointed by Jolani - 140 were *elected* in an election that excluded the vast majority of Syrian voters. The list itself does not offer any surprises. The biggest surprise is that Jolani appointed a Syrian actress (Rozina Lazkani) as a parliamentarian. 11% representation of woman in the parliament; well below the promised 20%. Ethnic diversity is basically non existent - when Jolani first declared that he will appoint 1/3 of the parliament, this decision was defended by the sphere of activists highly sympathetic to Jolani stating that his 70 appointees will be used by the pragmatic Jolani to include a diverse group of parliamentarians that represent the diversity of Syria; this turns out to be false in yet another failure of this sphere to predict Jolanis style of governance (knowingly creating false narratives and expectations to create a very positive impression of Jolani) No democracy in Syria - not even nuances of it.

Residents of the city of Al-Darbasiyah organized a protest in the city center today, Wednesday, July 1, to condemn the attack by the so-called General Security of the de facto authority in Damascus on Kurdish women, and the arrest of dozens of Kurdish youths from the towns of Tal Hasel and Tal Aran in the northern Aleppo countryside, demanding their immediate release and holding those responsible accountable.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jody Williams sent a letter to Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan: "Your ideas on democracy, coexistence, and women's liberation give us hope. I believe your leadership plays a significant role in social change."

The protest is continuing.

Protests in Kurdish cities, in support of the people of Tel Aran and Tel Hasel, raising slogans: “Those who have given birth to Kurdish female fighters will not be broken by the hands of terrorism” and “We will not remain with our hands tied.” Until now, the terrorist campaign by the General Security forces has not stopped, as they attack civilians and arrest Kurdish youths only because they are Kurdish.

Jihadist gangs affiliated with HTS are attacking Kurdish villages! 10 young Kurdish men arrested on charges of belonging to "remnant" forces in Tal Aran and Tal Hasel (Aleppo countryside), involving the participation of over 200 vehicles. In the video, women are screaming, begging not to be hit, yet gangs are attacking women and young people.

Across Rojhelat (eastern Kurdistan, western Iran) the clashes between the Iranian regime and Kurdish factions continue on its second day. The tensions are rising steadily and we are expecting an escalation. Recent events: - The PJAK announces that 4 of its members have been martyred during clashes on July 27 - 2 IRGC members (jashes) have been assassinated by a Kurdish faction in Paveh - Deployment of Heavy military equipment and other Iranian assets are being observed across various locations; locals have reported that Arabic speaking IRGC members have been deployed The clashes are no longer concentrated on a singular location in Rojhelat but have spread towards several region - multiple Kurdish factions are now involved in these clashes within their respective area of influence.
