Three steps to the gallows

Author's name: Jean Dost

Sheikh Saeed was forced to lead the Kurdish revolution against Turkey before the conditions and preparations were ripe, and it ended with the fading of the Kurdish dream of independence. He was the leader, but in moments of excitement and anger, no one listened to him. In front of the gallows erected before him, and the other gallows from which the bodies of his comrades hung, events and memories flooded back like a river of years. He had promised Barikhan that he would only use her handkerchief to dry his tears. But his last tear flowed without him being able to wipe it away, as the handkerchief was confiscated by the Turkish soldiers, and his hands were tied in his final steps to death.
