Ronahî: This morning a fire broke out at the prison in the city of Kobani, where dozens of inmates are held. According to initial reports eight inmates lost their life and seventeen people were injured; some of them are in serious condition.

Ronahî: The injured were taken to hospitals in Kobani for treatment. The cause of the fire is still unknown and the investigation is ongoing.

Kamîran: So far no official has said how the fire started in the prison — that is the biggest question still unanswered.

Ronahî: That is correct. Two injured inmates describe the incident differently. One of them, Mahmud Jamil, said that sounds of explosions were heard in the morning and, according to him, forces of the Damascus government were present there.

Ronahî: This is the testimony of the inmates and has neither been confirmed nor denied by officials; no official explanatory statement has been issued so far.

Kamîran: And the burial of those eight people will not take place today, is that right?

Ronahî: No, it has been postponed. The bodies will be buried tomorrow, the fourteenth of September, at five o'clock in the evening at the Dicle cemetery. Their names have been released: Khalid Muhammad, Aziz Rashid, Mahmud Mustafa, Bozan Dali, Ali Isa, Dalil Sheikh Ali, Ali Aqili and Sherwan Shevkhan. The mourning will continue until that day.

Ronahî: Presidential adviser of Syria Mazloum Abdi also visited the injured at Kobani hospital with a delegation and inquired about their condition.

Kamîran: Yesterday we spoke about the killing of Sipan Hizni; today that file and the Kobani incidents have been linked in statements.

Ronahî: Yes. The Democratic Syria Council issued a statement calling for an urgent investigation into both incidents — the killing of the Hasaka Brigade fighter Sipan Hizni and the deaths of the Kobani inmates.

Ronahî: The Democratic Union Party also says that since yesterday a convoy of public security forces has entered the city, patrolled the streets and that some civilians were detained in an arbitrary manner. This is their claim.

Kamîran: And in Hasaka the body of Sipan Hizni was buried.

Ronahî: Thousands of people attended at the cemetery of the village of Dawudiye. A condolence ceremony was also held in the village of Micerce, with the participation of a tribal delegation and the transitional government. Statements were also issued in Derbasiye, Tell Tamer and Kobani; all of them demanded that the perpetrators be tried.

Ronahî: In the predominantly Kurdish areas, student and resident protests continue. They want Kurdish instruction to exceed the current limit of three lessons per week.

Kamîran: This stems from the decision of the Ministry of Education of the transitional government, dated the twenty-seventh of August.

Ronahî: That is correct. Students have been taking to the streets since the sixth of September. The Kurdistan National Congress supported these actions, and the Mesopotamia Democratic Culture and Art Movement also read a statement in front of its building and called on the people to raise their voice for the language.

Ronahî: In the discussion, international experience is also recalled: UNESCO emphasises the importance of learning multiple languages and especially mother-tongue education.

Kamîran: Another file that had remained silent for eight months opened today.

Ronahî: Journalist Ahmet Polat, who had been working in the media in Syria since two thousand seventeen, was detained together with a colleague in Raqqa on the eighteenth of January two thousand twenty-six by transitional government forces.

Ronahî: For eight months no information was received about him. According to information from his family, on the ninth of September the transitional government handed him over to Turkey.

Kamîran: So the source of this information is the family, not an official statement.

Ronahî: Exactly. The family also says that he was subjected to torture during this period.

Ronahî: A human-rights organisation released a report on the increase in death sentences against female political prisoners in Iran and in Rojhilat Kurdistan.

Ronahî: The report states that Marzieh Ebrahimi, thirty-two years old and a resident of Bandar Abbas, has been sentenced to death on the charge of taking photographs of the sites of missile attacks. Confiscation of her property and her dismissal from state employment are also included in the ruling.

Kamîran: A charge like that and a sentence of this kind — the size of the discrepancy itself becomes the issue.

Kamîran: We close with news from the agenda of recent weeks: the return of displaced people.

Ronahî: In August and September, displaced people from Serêkaniyê began returning to their villages and districts in convoys — in the areas of Serêkaniyê, Tell Tamer and Zirgan.

Ronahî: In two convoys, one thousand ninety-nine families returned. However, the families say they face serious obstacles in building their new lives.
