ADANA - The Free Women's Congress (KJA) member Emine Adıbelli was summoned to testify for attending the statement and carrying photo of Eylem Ataş, who lost her life while fighting against ISIS in Manbij. "All women should stand up for a woman who fought against woman hater gangs."

United Liberation Forces (BÖG) fighter Eylem Ataş (nom de guerre Cemre Heval) died on June 27, 2016 while fighting against ISIS within scope of operation to liberate Manbij. Her body hasn't been given to her family for 56 days. As women take to streets for Eylem, they ask Eylem to be given her family.

The Free Women's Congress (KJA) member Emine Adıbelli was summoned to testify for attending the statement and carrying photo of Eylem Ataş, "Carrying photo of a woman who fought against women hater and raped gangs has been regarded as crime. I carried her photo during the press statement and I was summoned to testify for that. They haven't allowed us to take her body for days. We should stand up for her body and stop this torture. Women should be a voice against ISIS gangs. Of course, I will protect a woman who made the supreme sacrifice, that's my duty."
