Dear Mr Masud Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party
Our Kurdish greetings
Since the glorious uprising in Western Kurdistan on
12 and 13 March 2004, thousands of our Kurdish
people in Syria fled outside the Syrian borders away
from atrocities and murder by the criminal Syrian
regime that up to the present moment is killing
Kurds under torture in its detention centres and
prisons.
Some dozens of families of those came to Southern
Kurdistan to be under the protections of their
Kurdish brothers and relatives.
The Kurdish refugees in Duhok, in Southern Kurdistan
are appealing to you because they have no one else
to ask for support. They have tried but did not
manage to get their voices to reach you. That is why
they have turned to the Western Kurdistan Government
in Exile to contact you and inform you that their
health, education and other circumstances is
deteriorating, especially that winter is coming and
they are still in tents with their children getting
ill and their youth without schools or work.
That is why the Western Kurdistan Government in
Exile adds its voice to their voice and the voices
of our people in Western Kurdistan for asking for
attention, because they are your children as well.
I enclose my new book (The colonial policy of the
Syrian Baath Party in Western Kurdistan) as a humble
present; I hope it will be a subject for your
satisfaction.
I wish you long live for the independence of
Kurdistan and freedom of the Kurds.
Yours truly,
Dr. Jawad Mella
President of the Western Kurdistan Government in
Exile
Dr Jawad Mella,
President of the Western Kurdistan Government in
Exile And Director of the Western Kurdistan
Association in the UK
Of course you do not need any reminders regarding
the tragedy of the Kurdish people in the Syrian
Kurdistan under the rule of the totalitarian and
one-party regime of Syria… such totalitarian regimes
have no regard for human rights or any international
conventions in that regard…
As a result of the mass murder of unarmed civilians
in the streets and later under torture in prisons in
the aftermath of the March uprising several of us
took refuge in Iraqi Kurdistan. We are now living in
arefugee camp in Duhok in the Iraqi Kurdistan .. in
tents that cannot protect us from the cold of
winter. Our children have difficulties with school
attendance and most of our youth cannot make a
living because
they are unemployed.
That is why we appeal to you to ask the regional
Kurdistan government to allow us to participate in
the political life according to the recognised laws
of the region in order to take actions to improve
our conditions, otherwise we ask you to involve
international organisations in the process.
Thank you,
The Syrian Kurdish refugees
in the Duhok refugee camp
Iraqi Kurdistan
