Born in 1995 in Siirt, as a child of a patriotic family, our comrade Sema Koçer meets the Struggle for Freedom at a young age. Coming to join the guerrilla ranks she defined as the creators of life, she recreated her life in 2014. Comrade Sema started her struggle full of sacrifices in Northern Kurdistan, which she longed for and wanted to practice.
Comrade Sema, who always took her place in the hearts of her comrades with her deep love, exhibited a determined and discreet stance in her life as a guerrilla, and lived with the longing for revenge of the massacre and persecution committed against the Kurdish people.
Comrade Sema, who devoted herself to the people of Kurdistan, has trained herself as a revolutionary militant, ideologically and politically competent, and has successfully accomplished many strategic tasks, making her the solution force even on the most difficult missions.
Living with the joy and enthusiasm of creating life and struggle with great efforts in the mountains of Kurdistan, Sema has become a symbol of deep attachment, effort and sacrifice for companionship. She lived every moment of her militancy with a sacrificial soul and was able to fight against the enemy under all circumstances and hit the enemy with a high consciousness for the freedom of Kurdistan.
Joining the caravan of immortal martyrs with her self-sacrifice action, we wish our condolences to all the patriotic people of Kurdistan, and especially our esteemed family, and promise that we will carry the legacy of the struggle that our martyrs gave us to victory.
