Turkish prosecutor demands life sentence for Kurdish-Syrian fighter

2020-10-24

[Rudaw] The public prosecutor in ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
’s Sanliurfa province demanded on Thursday a life sentence for a Syrian-Kurdish fighter from the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) who was captured by pro-Turkey snuffies in Syria last year.

Dozgin Temo, known as Cicek Kobane, fell into the hands of militia groups backed by Turkey during Operation Peace Spring in Ain Issa district, northern Syria on October 21, 2019. She was later taken to Turkey to be tried on charges of "disrupting the unity and territorial integrity of the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish state."

Kobane stood before the judge in Sanliurfa on Thursday, her third court date. She said in her defense that she was a YPJ fighter but was not involved in armed festivities, according to the pro-Kurdish Firat News Agency (ANF).

The YPJ is the all-women version of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) — the backbone of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Turkey considers both YPJ and YPG as Syrian offshoots of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

The public prosecutor demanded a life sentence for Kobane, according to ANF. Her lawyer requested more time to mount a defence. The trial was postponed to November 24 when a verdict is expected.

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...

] and ISIS a crime?" she asked.

When Kobane was captured last year, the YPJ called on the international to "urgently intervene" to secure her release and "speak up against this brutality of ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish-backed gangs."

In video published on Telegram channels linked to the Syrian militias, snuffies call her a "pig" and say she will be taken to "slaughter."

report released in September found that the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish-backed militias may have committed war crimes in northeastern Syria, known to Kurds as Rojava, including against the female population. "Women and girls have also been detained by Syrian National Army brigade fighters, and subjected to rape and sexual violence," read the report. The Syrian National Army is the renamed FSA.
