One year since the tragic and callous assassination of Sakine Cansiz, Fidan Dogan (Rojbin) and Leyla Saylemez in Rue La Fayette in Paris, we still wait for answers from the French authorities about who is responsible for their murder.
The Ufficio di Informazione del Kurdistan in Italia (UIKI), the International Representation of the Kurdish Women’s Movement (IRKWM) and CENI – Women’s Office for Peace have put together a document with the latest information about their campaign for justice for the three courageous women, which is attached and available at the link below.

The European Peace and Democracy Assembly (ABDEM) has also called for mass participation in the demonstration to be held in Paris TOMORROW, Saturday 11 January for Sakine, Leyla and Fidan.
The demonstration will take place at 12 noon at the the Gare du Nord, and follows major rallies that have already taken place in Paris, Istanbul, Hewler and elsewhere on the anniversary of the killings. In Istanbul, hundreds of women protesters were met with tear gas and water canons from the police as they attempted to march to the French Embassy. And across Europe, many actions have been taking place to commemorate the life, work and sacrifice of the three women, including a photo exhibition in Berlin organised by the DESTDAN women's association.
The three women were also honoured by the Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID) at the end of last year in a tribute to all the women who lost their lives fighting for freedom and their rights. The tribute takes the form of an online photo exhibition, which you can view here <https://plus.google.com/photos/110714837166729000165/albums/5947969816908571489> .
