The Political Bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) demands an immediate and thorough investigation into the mysterious death of a Peshmerga fighter inside an Erbil prison, characterizing the incident as an "unjust martyrdom."

The PUK's Position on the Mysterious Death of Haji Aso

In an official statement, the Political Bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) expressed deep concern and sorrow over the mysterious death of Kurdistan Peshmerga fighter "Kak Haji Aso." The PUK stated that he was "unjustly martyred" under suspicious circumstances within an Erbil prison. In this context, the party extended its condolences and sympathies to his family and relatives.

Call for an International Investigation

The PUK called upon the international community to seriously intervene and conduct a thorough investigation into the incident. The party's Political Bureau emphasized that the life and status of a Peshmerga are far too significant to be subjected to fabricated allegations under various pretexts or to face death inside prisons, underscoring an impartial investigation as an urgent necessity.

The Dignity of the Peshmerga and the Right to an Honorable Life

Elsewhere in the statement, the PUK noted that the Peshmerga is a symbol of sacrifice and the survival of the Kurdish people. The Political Bureau stressed that Peshmerga fighters deserve an honorable life, rather than being imprisoned and unjustly losing their lives. In conclusion, the PUK prayed that Almighty God grant patience and solace to the family of the "wronged martyr."
