Iraqi Arab Nationalist Baath State soldiers seize Said Gabari for singing in Kurdish and not in Arabic. Saddam wants to meet him and persuade him to sing in Arabic. If he does then he would receive a gold watch as a gift. Said Gabari refuses. The Turks, Arabs and Persians who occupied and with the help of the three imperialist Western countries England, France and Germany succeeded in annexing the Kurds' land Kurdistan is very much about acquiring Islamist Kurds among the Kurds who oppose the state for freedom of Kurdistan. They believe that this is a very effective method of breaking the Kurdish resistance.

Saddam gives the sign that he should be removed from the room for exicusion. The Iraqi-Arab soldiers torture him and then give him two options:
-- Do you want us to cut off your tongue or dig out your eyes?
Said Gabari knows that these torturers are so cruelly hostile to the Kurds that they will do just the opposite of his wishes. He says:
-- Cut the tongue.
The soldiers burst out of his both eyes instead.
And Gabari says: If they had cut off my hands, I would never be able to play a musical instrument again.

The same cruel fate met the Kurdish Revolution's leader Sey Rizo from Dersim. He led the great uprising against the Turkish state in 1938. He was arrested together with his wounded son Findik. Both were to be hung on the order of Western-backed fascist Turkish country father Kemal Ataturk. Fascist Turks asked him about his last wish when he was brought to hang. Sey Rizo said:

- To be hanged before my son.

The fascist Turks did the opposite. They hung Findik in front of his father. Before hanging them, they had raised Findik's age on the paper because he was under 18 and Sey Rizo over 70. Therefore, the savage islamo-fascist Turks played to become Westernized as they had copied the Western laws paragraphs from the Western countries and according to the newly formed Turkish state"s "civilized" news laws a minors or an older people could not be hanged. But they made sure to bypass this law in this way anyway.
