Code Name: Rêzan Amed Name Surname: Ümit Tarhan Birthplace: Amed Mother – Father Name: Saadet – Abdullah Martyrdom Date and Place: 18 May 2022 / Medya Defense Areas |
Our comrade Rêzan was born in the Hênê district of Amed, the capital of Kurdistan. The family of our comrade Rêzan became patriotic with the exit of our Party PKK, and they joined the Kurdish people’s struggle for existence and freedom with their heart. He joined the ranks of the party from his patriotic family and paid a price in this struggle. For this reason, our comrade’s family was subjected to the pressure of the enemy, but never took a step back and did not compromise on his honorable patriotic stance. Our comrade Rêzan grew up in Amed and was brought up with the ancient social values of Kurdistan. He had to go to Europe in his youth. He had a hard time keeping up with European life, and he always felt longing for the country in the depths of his heart.
Our comrade Rêzan, who studied in Turkey and Europe for a total of 15 years, went to university and studied in the electrical department. Our comrade Rêzan, who is a smart and talented young man, has been in search. He became aware of the meaningless and spiritual life of the centers of capitalist modernity. His people’s struggle for existence and freedom has affected him deeply. Although our Party recognized the PKK because of the patriotism of his family, the international conspiracy against Leader Apo caused an anger that he will never forget in the consciousness and heart of Comrade Rezan. For the first time, the Kurdish people came together around a national leader and attained a national identity in the person of Leader Apo, He saw that the hegemonic world powers and the nation-state system, which could not digest his liberation step by step with the PKK, were the main forces plotting the international conspiracy. That is why his anger at the forces of capitalist modernity has grown even more. However, our comrade Rêzan has realized that it is not enough to just feel anger with noble feelings, and he has made it known that he must fight to break this conspiracy that has been established for the existence, freedom and future of the Kurdish people in the person of Leader Apo.
On this basis, he joined the freedom movement in 2007, in the month of February when the international conspiracy took place. Our comrade Rêzan, who joined the patriotic revolutionary youth movement, has become a pioneering youth with his inexhaustible enthusiasm, high enthusiasm and great determination. However, international states that could not tolerate a free Kurdistan could not tolerate a free Kurd either, and detained our comrade Rezan many times and imprisoned him in a dungeon for a year. However, these pressures did not intimidate our comrade Rêzan, he saw that the European legal system, which talks a lot about human rights, is not valid for the Kurds, and the determination and determination of the struggle was further sharpened.

Our comrade Rêzan not only determined his participation in the freedom movement in a meaningful month, but also coincided with his arrival in the Kurdistan mountains in November when the PKK was founded, and joined the guerrilla ranks in 2009. Our comrade Rêzan, who always makes meaningful beginnings, realizes that the more people get to know Leader Apo, the stronger their conscience is, and they know life; He stated that he analyzed capitalist modernity and that he could not give anything to people. That’s why he took the road to the mountains of Kurdistan. Comrade Rêzan, who started guerrilla activities in Qandil, practiced here. He lived every moment of his life to the fullest, as if he were suffering from the years he was away from the country. He gained experience very quickly with his determined personality, stable participation, determined stance and endless curiosity.
He wholeheartedly believed that the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla should fight on the basis of guerrillaism 24 hours a day, always be on the alert and specialize in this. On this basis, he trained at the military academy and exerted great effort to become a guerrilla worthy of Leader Apo. He trained his friends as much as he was educated and deepened his level of expertise. When ISIS reactionaries attacked Kobanê and committed genocide against our people, our comrade Rêzan joined the epic resistance in Kobanê, like many Apoist bodyguards. He fought against ISIS gangs in Kobanê with great courage, belief in victory, great intelligence and tactical creativity. Although he was seriously injured in this war, he enlarged his struggle with a great will. Our comrade Rêzan carried out very successful actions as one of the unsung heroes of the liberation of Kobanê.
After fulfilling his historical duty to his people, he returned to the mountains of Kurdistan and decided to use the experience he gained to increase the specialization level of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla. On this basis, he experienced a great concentration, deepened in expertise, focused on the effective use of the guerrilla’s war technique, and made numerous attempts for new tactical expansions. Our comrade Rêzan has done a great job as an Apoist commander who wholeheartedly believes in the professionalization of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla and that victory will be won on this basis. He did not accept any measure other than unlimited success in his studies and life. On this basis, with his inexhaustible energy, he trained hundreds of his comrades, helped them specialize, put a lot of effort and took care to convey all his concentration and experience. He has been in search and deep concentration in order to better train his comrades and improve their education level. Our comrade Rêzan worked with great humility on the basis of being the comrade of comrades, did not give up in the face of any difficulty, and always managed to overcome it by finding an alternative way with his practical intelligence and talents. He has been one of the great laborers and faithful commanders of the professionalization process that has developed step by step in recent years on the basis of the restructuring project of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla. Our comrade Rezan is focused on success, focused on victory, has established military order and discipline in his personality, has captured the supreme virtues of Apoist militancy and has always been based on living in the simplicity of a dervish.
Our comrade Rêzan, who coincided all his beginnings with the most meaningful days, passed away on a very meaningful day, May 18 Martyrs’ Day. Our comrade Rêzan, who has made an indescribable effort in the development and professionalization of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, put fear in the hearts of the enemy with his high courage, and embodied the command of the Apoist professional guerrilla in his person, will always be taken as an example by us comrades. The aim of achieving the victory guerrilla and Free Leadership, Free Kurdistan, for which our comrade Rêzan worked hard, will definitely be achieved. The name of our comrade Rêzan will always be remembered, his memory will always be kept alive, and his revenge will be taken for every bullet professionally fired at the enemy.
We extend our condolences to the esteemed patriotic family of our comrade Rêzan and the people of Kurdistan.”
