Religious scholars from Kurdistan began a resistance fast in Istanbul, Van, Diyarbakır and Girê Mira under the leadership of Democratic Islamic Congress (DİK). The resistance fast began on an indefinite basis with rotating participants today. Religious scholars announced that they would not surrender until the attacks and massacre end. The fasts began simultaneously in multiple cities. Şimel Beğti, from Women's Commission of DİK, called everyone to support the resistance fast.
