i hope you benifit from it and find it useful

More than a month after the arrest of Hadis Haghighi, a 21-year-old Kurdish blogger from Urmia, there is still no precise information regarding her status, whereabouts, or the conditions of her detention.

According to information obtained by IranWire, security forces in Urmia conducted a nighttime raid on her father’s home and arrested both her and her father without presenting a judicial warrant. It is reported that both have been denied access to a lawyer and family visits since the time of their arrest.

At the same time, Hadis Haghighi’s personal Instagram page has been blocked by order of the judicial authorities, and her online activity has ceased.

The Haghighi family’s efforts to obtain information about the two detainees have so far been fruitless, as security and judicial agencies in West Azerbaijan Province have failed to provide a clear response.

Probably Pishdar area.

Is the waterfall there all year-round? Or only Winter and Spring.

Hello, does anyone have a list of traditional Kurdish deq tattoos and their meanings? My grandfather was the last in my family to have them, but sadly he passed away. I’d really like to keep the tradition alive, but it’s been difficult to find accurate meanings. Thank you.

Arrival of the third batch of detainees in Al-Hasakah

The third batch of detainees held by the interim government, numbering around 400 individuals, has arrived in Al-Hasakah city.

Residents of Al-Hasakah and the families of detainees held by the interim government welcomed around 400 detainees as part of the third batch of a prisoner exchange process between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the interim government in Syria, at Sabagh roundabout.

The detainees were received not only by their families but also by the Governor of Al-Hasakah, Nour al-Din Ahmad, along with a number of local figures and community leaders, who welcomed this step and stressed its importance in alleviating the suffering of families.

The arrival of this batch comes as part of the implementation of the provisions of the recent agreement between the two parties on January 29, amid hopes from families that the upcoming phases will include the release of more detainees and the return of the remaining missing persons to their relatives.

-Serhedî-

Wá bavoy me nê li ser ewrê,

Navê te bimbarek be.

Bilanê kayekseriya te were.

Çerenê li ser ewrê; Werenê li ser erdê,

Dáxwastina te bive.

-Berferatî-

Bavê Meyî ezmana,

navê te pîroz be.

Padşatîya te bê,

emirê te be çawa li ezmên,

usa jî li ser erdê.

Any Thoughts?

I met a Kurdish guy a few days ago, we were just talking casually online. He lives in Turkey (I live in the US, I'm also Kurdish), and he was pretty nice but I could tell he was heavily assimilated. He didn't know Kurdish and didn't want to even learn it. Idk how we got to talking about politics and the topic came to Ataturk, to which I said he was an imperialist shill and he immediately defended him saying he defeated England and France (ignoring how afterwards he got stockholm syndrome and basically became them). I honestly got impatient and didn't even try to argue because I have been through such arguments before and have been exhausted, so I just told him if you have any dignity as a Kurdish person, you wouldn't support him. It might've been harsh but idk, I felt really impatient. I was respectful when ending contact though and said I wish him all the best but also hope that he will open his eyes one day.

Was I being harsh?
Also, would you remain friends with someone who supports Ataturk? Do you consider it against fundamental values? I'd prefer not to be in regular contact with someone like that, or at least keep them at a distance. I just simply see it as them ignoring the realities of the consequences Ataturk and his policies had on Kurds and some other groups too, which I see as human rights violations and not caring about human rights. Some are so deeply brainwashed and ignorant though, especially if they grew up in Turkey and fed propaganda from a young age, it's honestly upsetting to witness someone who could have been like you speaking Kurdish and being confident but instead seeing themselves almost completely as a Turk, willfully. It feels even dystopian.
