MASÎRO DENİZ CUDÎ
With the emergence of the Kurdistan Freedom Movement as the resistance of the honorable future of our oppressed people, it spread rapidly to all areas of Kurdistan and was greeted with serhildans by our people. The Botan region was one of the first areas where our guerrilla struggle started and integrated with the people, and the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla grew with mass participation. The will of freedom and the fighting nature of our Botan people were targeted by the invading Turkish state and tried to be broken with attacks of denial and destruction. In addition to physical attacks, our people have been forcibly removed from their lands where they have lived for millennia by being condemned to poverty. Hundreds of thousands of our patriotic families had to migrate to Turkey’s metropolises and many different cities by immigrating from the ancient lands where they had strong ties with nature.
Our comrade Masîro was born and grew up in a patriotic family that had to migrate to Wan as a result of pressure from Silopia, one of the resistance centers of Botan, and participated in the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle and was martyred. Our comrade, who has been in the struggle from an early age and had the chance to get to know him closely, has never bowed to the oppression and attacks of the invading Turkish state, and has always maintained his resistance personality. As an honorable Kurdish youth, our comrade Masîro became clear in Leader Apo’s line of freedom at an early age and took his place in the organized resistance by participating in youth work. While he was working in Wan, he traveled from house to house, neighborhood to neighborhood, and successfully carried out the organization of our people and Wan youth, and duly fulfilled his pioneering mission. Our comrade, who was exposed to the attacks of the invading Turkish state during the works, was detained many times and faced with state terrorism. Comrade Masîro, who did not stop his work despite all the pressures and attacks, showed once again that he would never bow to the invaders by raising his struggle.
Our comrade Masîro, who has increased his knowledge and experience with his works, has brought to consciousness the fact that our people will not be able to carry their struggle to victory unless they develop a strong self-defense along the lines of the PKK, and has decided to join the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, the main self-defense force of our people. He joined the guerrilla ranks in 2013 and successfully completed his basic guerrilla training. Comrade Masîro, who soon became integrated with the guerrilla life that he joined with great enthusiasm, had the chance to test what he learned in practice by first moving to the Zap area and then to the Xakurkê area. Our comrade, who specializes in guerrillaism with his successful work in both fields, has always been in an effort to have a greater and stronger participation. In Leader Apo’s philosophy, Our comrade Masîro, who constantly reads and researches in order to deepen in the truth of martyrs and in the line of the PKK, has gained a great deal of knowledge at a young age and is based on enriching what he has learned by sharing it with his comrades. He has been one of our comrades who became very angry at the genocidal attacks against our people from Rojava to Shengal, from Kirkuk to Maxmur during the 2014-2015 period and insistently suggested him to protect the existence of our people. Comrade Masîro, who took his place in the forefront of the first groups of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, which took action at the request of our people, fought selflessly against ISIS gangs that are hostile to humanity. Our comrade who made great efforts to save our Yazidi people from genocide in Shengal.

Our comrade Masîro, who had a will of steel in the practical processes he participated in and specialized in guerrilla tactics, moved to the Wan field, which he had dreamed of throughout his guerrilla life and which he constantly suggested to go. Comrade Masîro, who specialized in the modern guerrilla tactics of the new era and adapted to the field in a short time as a leading commander, led his comrades with his experience and took part in many actions that dealt heavy blows to the invaders. Our comrade, who, with his creative personality, always finds and implements appropriate solutions under the most difficult conditions, has become a source of trust for his comrades in every environment he is in. His militant stance on the line of life and comradeship, his anger that turned into action against the occupiers has always enabled him to demonstrate an exemplary practice.
The line of resistance and victory inherited from our martyrs by Comrade Masîro, who joined the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle at a young age and became an exemplary commander by making great progress, will definitely be crowned with victory by our comrades who remained behind.

KAWA EVRİM
Our people, who have been refugees in the holy land of Kurdistan, where they have lived for millennia, and wanted to be separated from each other spiritually and physically through artificial borders, have been subjected to all kinds of inhuman attacks by colonial states. In the lands where the first wheat was planted, the first bread was jointly produced and shared, the people of ancient Kurdistan were plunged into poverty and were left in need of a bite of bread. The PKK is a movement for the resurrection and existence of a people whose hope for the future has been exhausted and whose humane life opportunities have been destroyed. Our party, the PKK, has re-created our people, which the imperialist states have put in the grip of denial and destruction by dividing them into four parts with artificial borders, with the spirit of national unity. With the emergence of our Party PKK under the leadership of Leader Apo, our oppressed people, By shaking off the dead soil on it, it crossed the artificial borders and flocked to the ranks of the struggle. Our comrade Kawa was born in Kotol in Xoy, where peoples lived together throughout history and different languages were spoken. Throughout history, Kotol has adhered to the social values of our people and is known for its strong patriotic qualities. Raised in an environment where Kurdistani values are alive, our comrade Kawa grew up with the culture and tradition of our people’s unyielding resistance.
The patriotic Musalo family has experienced the rightful pride of having added their most precious son to the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle and has always displayed an honorable stance and embraced our holy martyrs. Comrade Kawa, who grew up in an environment devoted to the tradition of freedom, also recognized our struggle at an early age. Shaped by the epics created by the struggle of our guerrilla, our comrade Kawa grew up with the dream of the day he will join the ranks of the freedom guerrilla. He did not remain silent to the brutal denial and destruction policies carried out against our people, and by improving himself to the extent possible, he made a great effort to direct our society and the Kurdish youth, who are the future of our society, to more struggle. During the work he carried out, he was exposed to the detention attacks of the colonialists many times and each time he gave himself to more studies and gave the necessary answer to the enemy. The fact that there are many martyrs in his close circle and family has enabled our comrade Kawa to focus on the line of martyrs and to embrace their heritage more strongly. Our comrade, who never accepted a servile life as an honorable Kurdish youth, read many sources in depth in order to better understand the Democratic Modernity paradigm developed by our Leader, and as our party developed its awareness, our Party decided to become a militant of the PKK’s march on the line of victory.

ROSÎDA DİCLE
Our city of Colemêrg, where the patriotic tradition and culture of resistance are always alive, has always stood by the freedom struggle of our people and has taken a clear stance against the occupation and the invaders. The patriotic Colemêrg, who could not break the revolutionary will of our people, wanted to break the resistance by forcibly emigrating our people from the lands where they were rooted, as well as the attacks of denial and annihilation. Despite all the attacks, our people, who turned every area they went into a center of resistance, showed the whole world that they would never abandon the freedom march that developed under the leadership of the PKK and their loyalty to Leader Apo, with the serhildans and mass participation they developed. Our comrade Rosîda is a patriot who had to immigrate from Colemêrg to Wan, who adhered to this resistance culture and tradition,
Our comrade Rosîda was brought up in accordance with the Kurdistani values of the society she lived in and has been known for her fighting personality since her childhood. She closely witnessed the heavy genocidal policies and attacks developed against our people and had unlimited anger against the invaders. As a young Kurdish woman, she has seen concretely the reality that the system has made women into slavery by nihilating them, and that she has detached herself from her essence by making her without identity and personality. Our comrade, who started to get to know the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle better in the same period, was influenced by Leader Apo’s idea of women’s freedom and tried to learn more. As she got to know Leader Apo and the PKK, she brought to consciousness the fact that real freedom can be achieved with a society to be established under the leadership of a free woman identity. The martyrdom of his close circle in the ranks of the freedom struggle deeply affected our comrade and led him to embrace the struggle of our martyrs. As a young and honorable Kurdish woman who is the successor of Zîlan and Berîtans, our comrade, who has reached the determination to fight for a free future for our society, joined the guerrilla ranks in 2014 and met the free mountains of Kurdistan.
