BEHDİNAN, SOUTHERN KURDISTAN
Sharing the identities of 2 guerrillas who have become immortalised in a blizzard on Zagros mountains, the HPG (Peoples’ Protection Forces) explained as follows:
“Kurdistan has struggled against colonial and genocidal forces throughout history and has paid a great price for the sake of freedom. The people of Kurdistan have always managed to overcome difficulties and continued their struggle without stopping even under the most impossible conditions during the history of struggle. The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla took over this struggle legacy and continued to write great resistance epics in the mountains of Kurdistan in all kinds of difficult conditions.
During the struggle, we also experienced losses in difficult areas, sometimes against natural conditions. Our comrades Sudad and Şoreş reached martyrdom on February 1 due to being caught in a blizzard during their duties in the Zagros Mountains.
The identity information of our friends who have reached martyrdom is as follows:

Our comrades Sudad and Şoreş were born from different parts of Kurdistan and at a young age felt responsibility for the freedom of Kurdistan and participated in the guerrilla struggle. Our comrades, who have been modelled among their comrades with their continuous development and diligence, have achieved great success in all kinds of educational and practical duties and have also managed to lead their companions around them.
Our comrades, who have a structure that deepens and constantly educates themselves in the philosophy of freedom of Leader Apo, have been freedom fighters who are very dependent on the Kurdish people and their values until the moment they were martyred.
We extend our condolences to all the patriotic people of Kurdistan, and especially the valuable families of our comrades Sudad and Şoreş who have reached martyrdom.
We promise to carry the freedom flag which our martyrs carried, to freedom. “
