NEWS CENTER – The RiseUp4Rojava once again made a call to supporters and solidarity revolutionary organizations to donate towards a campaign that aim to buy gas-masks for the guerrillas on the free mountains as they are attacked with chemical weapons from the fascist turkish state. In their twitter they shared their call with some visible materials on the use of chemicals weapons by the turkish fascist state:

“Turkey is using a variety of banned chemical weapons in frame of operation “Claw Lock”. A large scale invasion 20km deep into territories south of Turkey. In a propaganda clip released by Turkish Ministry of Defence in July, Turkish soldiers can be seen inserting tubes into what appears to be a tunnel entrance. The Kurdish freedom movement uses tunnels & caves to protect itself from Turkish bombardment.
Turkey is committing war crimes in plain sight!
This video released by the Turkish Ministry of Defense shows Turkish soldiers inserting a hose into a cave entrance, presumably to pipe gas into the tunnel facility. pic.twitter.com/P5fZzttSod

Another clip recorded by the guerrillas in the Werxelê region shows Turkish troops carrying what looks like a compressor & hoses. According to reports, these are used to pipe toxic gases into the cave systems.

In various reports, the guerrillas described effects of variety of chemicals used by Turkey. From pepper gas to more aggressive chemicals targeting the nervous system. Most notably, mustard gas (“yellowcross”), tabun, & chloropicrin (“greencross”) were used by Turkish forces. Due to the fierce resistance that has continued since the Turkish invasion began on April 23, Turkish forces have failed to achieve their goal and have resorted to barbaric measures such as the use of chemical weapons.
To date, internat. organizations have made no attempt to confirm allegations of chemical use. Press largely ignores circumstantial evidence published in recent months. Without a backlash, neutral observers & on-site investigation, Turkey will continue to commit war crimes. What you can do is spread the information, help by donating to the gas mask campaign & organize/join protests wherever you can to denounce Turkish war crimes in Kurdistan & demand investigations!”
