News Center- On August 23, 2024, a Turkish drone targeted a vehicle carrying journalists in the Saidsadiq district of Sulaymaniyah, killing two women journalists, Gülistan Tara and Hêro Bahadîn, and injuring six journalists.

Komele Women’s Committee has published a written statement condemning the Turkish drone attack against the journalists in Sulaymaniyah. “This is not the first Turkish attack targeting civilians, activists and journalists in the Kurdistan Region,” the statement said. “The Turkish state has been violating all rights of the Kurdish people in Türkiye and Northern Kurdistan, arresting the elected mayors. It also commits crimes outside its borders. The nationalist Turkish state must be held accountable for its crimes by a fair tribunal. We condemn the Turkish attacks and express our condolences to the comrades, families and friends of the two journalists.”
