The Assyrian Democratic Movement (ADM) has strongly condemned the arrest of Shaswar Abdulwahid Qadir, leader of the New Generation Movement, calling it a direct attack on the political process, democracy, and freedom of political activity in the Kurdistan Region.
In a statement released Wednesday, ADM said the arrest was aimed at silencing dissent and suppressing the voices of protesters. "We call for the immediate release of Shaswar Abdulwahid, because there can be no political process without a genuine and credible opposition,” the statement read.
The movement stressed its support for a fair and transparent judicial process but warned that politically motivated arrests undermine democratic principles. "Such operations targeting political leaders are driven by agendas aimed at silencing dissenting voices,” ADM added
