According to several Kurdish human-rights organizations, these four Kurdish political prisoners, in a message, described the strike as “the most civil form of expressing protest” and said that on the anniversary of the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini and the uprising “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi,” they will join the general strike.
