We sorrowfully and sadly announce that Jalil ZEWAI,
a freedom activist and member of PDKI, detained in the summer of 1994
in Sardasht region by the Iranian regime’s security agents, was
executed on Thursday, 4 December 2003 in the city of Mahabad by the
butchers of Iran’s Islamic regime.
Mr. ZEWAI, the son of Muhammad, from the village of
Marana in the Rabat County located in Sardasht region
was heavily tortured in the early stages of his detainment, resulting
in extensive bleeding; however, despite such a barbaric treatment, he
never backed down from his devotion. Intimidation did not weaken him;
he stayed strong against the ruling totalitarian and remained
committed to the objectives of his nation and its legitimate struggle
carried out by his Party, PDKI.
His burial ceremony was carried out privately in
his hometown Sardasht with any public burial or ceremonies being
prohibited by the regime. Despite regime’s restrains, the people of
Sardasht flooded the martyr’s residence and mourned his death.
Regrettably, the loss of this Kurdish activist was
striking for the people of Kurdistan in general, and those in his
ranks in particular that left all freedom activists with deep sorrow.
However, there is no doubt that the execution of this activist will
not frighten the people of Kurdistan or deviate them from their
struggle against dictatorship and despotism, rather this will hearten
and inspire them in their course to triumph and freedom.
On the martyrdom of this activist we send our
condolences to the family, friends and relatives of honoured Jalil
ZEWAI, and we are hopeful by upholding the drive for struggle and
fulfilling his wishes and objectives, we please the spirit of this
victim and all the victims of Kurdistan. Simultaneously, we condemn
such a brutal act of the cleric establishment and appeal to the
international community and humanitarian organizations that along with
condemning such a crime pressurize the regime to end its ploy of
executing freedom activists.
