Every year, the anguish of your martyrdom feels as fresh as the day it occurred. Your tragic demise serves as an enduring reminder of our collective grief, persistently ingrained within our hearts and minds.
Soran Mama Hama stood as a harbinger of transformation in our troubled nation. He envisaged a future characterized by affluence, democracy, and solidarity. Nonetheless, his martyrdom exposed the premature nature of such aspirations under the existing regime.
His demise delivered a resounding caution about the repercussions of dissent and prompted profound inquiries into the state of our democracy. Lingering queries challenge us: Why does Kurdistan persist as a theatre of violence? Why does terrorism maintain its prevalence? What are the motivations behind the PKK’s opposition to Kurdish aspirations? Why do our leaders remain fragmented and ineffectual? Why do our politicians shy away from transparency and accountability?
Martyr Soran staunchly advocated for press freedom, leaving behind a lasting legacy. Unlike the fleeting nature of sorrow, your memory endures within the hearts of our populace.
The investigation into your assassination remains ongoing, emblematic of the systemic injustice that pervades our society. The imperative for justice, not only for you but also for your counterparts, resonates unquestionably. We demand an end to oppression and the prosecution of those responsible for your untimely demise.
