Tens of thousands of people in Wan have been resisting on all streets and avenues for 2 days against the AKP's election coup.
Speaking at the protest in Wan, attended by tens of thousands of people, Leyla Zana said: "Today is the day of resistance. We do not accept this unlawfulness and oppression committed against you. No one can approach the will of the Kurds lightly."
Stating that they will end their hunger strike on April 4, political prisoners announced that they will continue their actions with "boycotts of courts, family visits and phone calls."
Speaking in Wan, DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan said, "You lost on March 31. Return from this wrong path." Co-chair Tülay Hatimoğulları said that they will continue the fight until Abdullah Zeydan's certificate of election is returned.
After the statement made in Wan, tens of thousands of people marched towards the Provincial Election Board.
DEM Party objected to the Provincial Election Board against the decision to renew the elections, citing two ballot boxes burned by AKP members in Curnê Reş.
Tens of thousands of people who turned every street into a resistance area against the government's usurpation of will in Wan gave the message that they will continue their protests until the decision is abandoned.
Former AKP Deputy Abdulmuttalip Ozbek called on AKP member Abdulahat Arvas, who is wanted to replace DEM Party member Abdullah Zeydan, "I hope you give up this decision as soon as possible."
Protests that started yesterday in the city after the certificate of election belonging to Metropolitan Municipality Co-mayor Abdullah Zeydan was given to the AKP candidate continued until early morning hour. In the city where the shutters were not opened today, people started to gather on the streets.
An attempt was made to lynch journalists who filmed AKP Provincial Chair Zeydin Kaya and his relatives pointing guns at citizens in Colemêrg.
The hunger strike launched by political prisoners in prisons to demand the physical freedom of PKK Leader Abdullah Ocalan has entered its 129th day.
All applications made by the family and lawyers of Rojnews editor Suleyman Ahmet, who has been detained by KDP's intelligence agency Parastin for 162 days, have remained unanswered so far.
A reaction came from the family of AKP's Abdulahat Arvas, who was decided to be given the certificate of election instead of DEM Party's Abdullah Zeydan in Wan. Mehmet Sacit Arvasi said: "How will you move around among the Kurds? You have no honor. You just care money."
DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan described the failure to grant the certificate of election to Abdullah Zeydan in Wan as a "political coup". Co-Chair Tülay Hatimoğulları said: "The decision must be reversed immediately."
