BEHDINAN – HPG Press Center stated the following regarding the 3 guerrillas who were martyred in a written statement:
“The Kurdistan Freedom Struggle is an uninterrupted freedom march created with the labor and blood of our immortal martyrs. The honorable legacy of humanity, created by those who resisted oppression throughout history, has been revived in the concrete of the Kurdish people with the philosophy of Leader Apo. Leader Apo and his followers, who changed the course of history at a time when the harshest and inhumane attacks were carried out in Kurdistan and our people were brought to the point of denying themselves, displayed an example of courage that is rare to find in history. The freedom march that started with a handful of revolutionaries has turned into a movement where millions are focused on the goal of freedom and become the hope of the oppressed peoples. Our struggle, knitted step by step and with a thousand and one difficulties, and the sacred values created.
Our comrades Ahmed, Cemil and Rûbar, who are the most distinguished and valuable sons of the Kurdish and Arab people, gave their lives for the unity of the peoples of the Middle East, and for their free and equal life. Sacrificing everything, they devoted their whole lives to the cause of the existence and freedom of the peoples. They lived honourably, fought selflessly, fought valiantly and achieved heroic martyrdom. We express our condolences to all our Kurdish and Arab people, especially to the valuable families of our comrades Ahmed, Cemil and Rûbar, who are among the most distinguished examples of a self-defeating spirit and militant life, and renew our promise that we will crown the struggle of our comrades with victory.

AHMED RUBAR
Our comrade Ahmed Rûbar got to know our Freedom Struggle during his high school years and has joined the ranks of freedom seekers since the first day he got to know him. Our comrade, who took a stance in favor of our people’s hope for freedom against the colonialists, participated in the work with great energy during the days of fierce struggle when our oppressed people actively participated in the struggle against the serhildans and hailed the guerrilla from the cities. He took part in the activities of ERNK (Eniya Rizgariya Netewa Kurdistan) during his time as a substitute teacher in the period of 1988-1990 and played a major role in raising awareness of our people and joining the ranks. Our comrade, who was captured by the invaders during his work, remained in the prison of the colonialists in Erzîngan (Erzincan) for a while. Despite his young age, our comrade, who has a great accumulation and consciousness of resistance, did not bow to the invaders under any circumstances.
Our comrade, who received his new fighter training in Xakurkê, went to Botan and worked as a guerrilla in many areas of Botan, the qibla of the guerrilla. The martyrdom of his comrades, with whom he joined the ranks, had a great impact on our comrade Ahmed and he focused on increasing his struggle by adhering to the memories of our martyrs. Our comrade, who moved to the Leader’s Field in 1997 after his first guerrilla experience in Botan, was a guest at the table of the sun and re-created himself. By staying with Leader Apo for 9 months, he experienced a great concentration to assimilate the Leadership Philosophy. Comrade Ahmed, who defines the period he spent in the Leadership Field as a turning point in his life and never forgets the memories of those days, has always made an effort to introduce the Leadership especially to his new comrades.
After the training he received in the Leadership Area, he moved to the ancient Zagros area, where he fought for many years with great enthusiasm and morale and dealt heavy blows to the invading Turkish army. Our comrade Ahmed, who travels every inch of the Zagros and carries out guerrilla activities and takes his place at the forefront of actions against the invaders wherever he goes, is devoted to the Zagros with great love. Our comrade, who has made great efforts to realize our people’s dreams of freedom by conducting guerrilla activities under the most difficult conditions for years, has trained hundreds of fighters and dozens of commanders. With his sincere, hardworking and honest personality, he represented the party line in every field he went to and duly fulfilled his pioneering mission.
Our comrade Ahmed Rûbar, who has turned into a competent commander, headed to Bakure Kurdistan in 2006 and moved to the Serhad region. Our comrade, who returned to the lands where he was born and grew up as a competent freedom fighter and commander, continued his successful guerrilla practice with endless patience and great will.
Our comrade, who scoured almost every inch of Kurdistan as a guerrilla, especially in Xakurkê, Zap, Avaşîn, Garê, and Metîna, shared his experiences with his young guerrilla comrades and made a great effort to make them competent. Our comrade Ahmed Rûbar, who embodied the new period guerrillaism in his person and led the way in practice, successfully fulfilled the task of provincial commander, which he assumed in different places. Our tradition of struggle, which our immortal commander comrade Ahmed Rûbar, who is a follower of the line of martyrs and a comrade of the comrades, is followed and strengthened with effort, will grow and be the guarantee of a free tomorrow.

CEMIL CIDI
Our comrade Cemil was born in Deir ez-Zor and grew up in a family that has always resisted oppression and made a living by working hard. Our comrade Cemil, who, as an Arab youth who is loyal to the land he lives in, has not surrendered to the pressures of ISIS gangs, and has drawn Arab youth into the ranks of the struggle. Our comrade, who was held captive in ISIS dungeons for a while, continued his resistance more determinedly after he was released. Comrade Cemil, who knows the freedom fighters who fought and lived with the philosophy of Leader Apo, joined the ranks of the struggle without hesitation. Our comrade, who saw that the free future of both the people of Kurdistan and the Arab people can be achieved with the philosophy of Leader Apo, has made a constant effort to better understand the Leadership and put it into practice.
Comrade Cemil, who took his place in the front line in the war against ISIS gangs, turned to the free mountains of Kurdistan in 2018 as a follower of the fraternity of the peoples and the life line of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle. Our comrade, who joined the guerrilla life with great enthusiasm, became an inseparable part of the PKK comradeship and became a militant of the PKK and Leader Apo with an unwavering will. As the representative of the international spirit, it became the concrete example of the meeting of the Kurdish and Arab peoples on a common life line in the ancient Mesopotamian lands. Our comrade, who turned into a qualified guerrilla in a short time and made great progress on the way to becoming a commander, successfully fulfilled his revolutionary duties in every field he went to.

RUBAR BATMAN
Our comrade Rûbar, who was born and raised in the deep patriotic culture of Êlih, started to get to know the freedom struggle in the family environment. There were people from his close circle who joined the guerrilla ranks and fell martyrs. This caused Comrade Rûbar to be affected by the struggle early on, revealing the enemy’s reality and witnessing the persecution of his people. The Self-Government Resistance that developed in 2015-2016 not only affected the whole of Kurdistan, but also prompted our comrade Rûbar to seek deeper roots. Comrade Rûbar, who could not accept the martyrdom of two of his friends in Êlih as a result of the attacks of the invading Turkish state, joined the guerrilla ranks in Xerzan in 2016.
Comrade Rûbar, who received his basic education in the Garê area, moved to the Avaşîn area to become a successful guerrilla. He made significant contributions to the development of war tunnels, which today do not allow the enemy to pass, by working in infrastructure works in the field of Mamreşo for a long time, with his effort, sacrifice, enthusiasm and determination. Our comrade Rûbar, who joined us, has made a unique effort to bring himself to the militant stance required by the process in every aspect. Educating oneself on the basis of the philosophy of leadership, reaching the Apoist self-defense militant line, and undertaking the duties of the period on this basis have been the main focus for our comrade Rûbar. Enthusiastic, determined, He became a person who succeeded in being effective in the struggle and resistance environments he entered with his high belief in the revolution, and won the love of his comrades. Capitalist modernity has brought to awareness that the attacks of colonialism and the invading Turkish state can only be broken with a participation based on the Apoist sacrifice spirit. For this reason, our comrade Rûbar, who wanted to be an active member of the army of Fedayeen, had an insistent practice that ran with great determination to every task of the revolution until the moment he was martyred. Our comrade Rûbar, who managed to fit great lives in his young age, joined the caravan of immortals as a result of the attack carried out by the invading Turkish state against Medya Defense Zones in June 2021. We commemorate all martyrs of the revolution with respect and gratitude, in the person of our comrade Rûbar, as fellow fighters, and make their dreams come true.
