REVOLUTIONARY Kurdish women vowed today to continue the liberation struggle “in the name of Zehra,” in honour of those killed in Tuesday’s Turkish drone attack on a house in northern Syria.

“Let’s take our place in the struggle for revolution and freedom,” the United Revolutionary Movement of Women (KBDH) said after the air strike, which killed Zehra Berkel, Hebun Mele Xelil and Amina Waysi.

The trio were gathered in a house in the city of Kobane, in the semi-autonomous region Rojava, when they were targeted.
