WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE GERMANY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Germany, Die Platform: Delegation of Democratic Youth Organizations from Germany Arrested Near Amed (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 This morning, a delegation of activists and journalists from Germany was arrested by Turkish police while traveling from Amed to Mardin. The group had traveled to the Kurdish regions in southern Turkey last weekend to support the protests against the escalating violence in Syria, to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in northern and eastern Syria, and to demand a democratic solution for Syria.

Since Sunday, December 25, 2025, the delegation had been meeting with various institutions, civil society organizations, and political parties to jointly call for a peaceful solution for Syria.

As you are surely aware, the women's revolution in northern and eastern Syria is currently under serious threat. HTS forces, together with former IS fighters and with the support of the Turkish state, have launched an attack against the territories of the Democratic Self-Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES). According to the Rojava Information Center, 150,000 people are trapped in the city of Kobane. Water, internet, gasoline, and electricity have been cut off. Due to the winter weather conditions and a shortage of medicine, five children have already died in the city.

We demand the immediate release of the delegation and an end to the criminalization of those who advocate for democracy, equality, and peace.
