🔸هپگ: یاد شهدای ماکو را با احترام گرامی میداریم
هپگ ضمن گرامیداشت یاد ۱۵ شهید اهل روژهلات، اعلام کرد: «مردم روژهلات و تمامی خلق کورد همواره به این قهرمانان فدایی خود افتخار کرده و آنان را در وجدان و قلب خود زنده نگه خواهند داشت.»
با گذشت ماهها و سالها از بازداشت ۹ شهروند کُرد، از جمله ۷ فعال سیاسی، به نامهای عثمان مامه، آرمان خالقپناه، ادریس فقهی، محسن قادری، سارا رشیدی کچلانلو، زهرا پیردهقان، پروین (اختر) راسق قزلباش، خالد برزنجی و سیروان حبیبی، توسط ماموران سازمان اطلاعات سپاه پاسداران و وزارت اطلاعات جمهوری اسلامی ایران، همچنان هیچ اطلاع روشنی از سرنوشت و محل نگهداری آنان در دست نیست.
شبکه حقوق بشر کردستان با ابراز نگرانی در خصوص تداوم بیخبری از سرنوشت این ۹ شهروند کُرد، انکار یا پنهانکاری نهادهای حکومتی، خودداری از پذیرش مسئولیت بازداشت و امتناع از ارائه اطلاعات به خانوادهها، با توجه به شرایط و شواهد هر پرونده را مصداق حقوقی جرم #ناپدیدسازی_قهری میداند؛ این وضعیت، افزون بر نقض مستمر حقوق بنیادین افراد ناپدیدشده، حقوق خانوادههای آنان را نیز نقض میکند و آنان را از حق دانستن حقیقت درباره سرنوشت و محل نگهداری عزیزانشان محروم ساخته است.
