The Kurdish National Council Calls for the Immediate Release of Nasser Jaro

ARK News… The General Secretariat of the Kurdish National Council in Syria issued a statement regarding the abduction of Nasser Jaro, a member of the Yakity Kurdistan Party in Amouda, condemning in the strongest terms the fierce and intimidating campaign by armed members of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), affirming that these violations serve the enemies of the Kurdish people.

The General Secretariat called on all political parties, civil society organizations, and human rights organizations to condemn these intimidating practices and to uncover the fate of Nasser Jaro and release him immediately.

Furthermore, the statement urged the international coalition to combat ISIS led by the United States to exert the necessary pressure to stop these violations against the Kurdish National Council and to release the council's detainees held in PYD prisons.

The text of the statement reads as follows:

"Armed members of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) as part of their systematic and ongoing campaign targeted the Kurdish National Council on April 21, 2024, by kidnapping Mr. Nasser Jaro while he was returning from work in his village to his home in Amouda. His fate remains unknown as of the writing of this statement. He is a member of the Area Committee of the Yakity Kurdistan Party in Amouda, and a member of the Khinav Folklore Group in Amouda, known for his critical theatrical works depicting the citizens' suffering due to the prevailing high cost of living and corruption within the Democratic Union Party's administration.

The Kurdish National Council in Syria condemns in the strongest terms this fierce and intimidating campaign by armed members of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), affirming that these violations serve the enemies of the Kurdish people. The Council calls on all political parties, civil society organizations, our people in all their activities, and human rights organizations to condemn these intimidating practices, uncover the fate of Mr. Nasser Jaro, and release him immediately. The Council also urges the International Coalition to combat ISIS led by the United States to exert the necessary pressure to stop these violations against the Kurdish National Council and to release the Council's detainees held in PYD prisons.

The Council assures its supporters that these intimidating acts will not deter it from continuing to serve our Kurdish people and working tirelessly to secure their legitimate national rights in a federal democratic Syria for all Syrians."
