NEWS CENTER – Sara Agirî Serhildan is from the patriotic Serhed region, which has made great contributions to the development of the growing freedom struggle by adopting the freedom march of the Kurdish people, which was recreated from the ashes of Rêber Apo. The Serhed region, which has always remained true to the Kurdish values and where the resistant culture and history is most alive, has never lost its resistance mission of history and was one of the first areas where the freedom struggle of Kurdistan became strong.
Şehid Sara was born in Agirî, the area that leads the resistance culture of Serhed. She grew up in a precious family connected with Kurdish culture. She grew up in this patriotic family and environment in Giyadin and like many Kurds she was condemned to poverty by the Turkish colonial state. Therefore, like many other Kurdish families, her family tried to make a living by doing their own work and thus Şehid Sara was introduced to the phenomenon of work at an early age. Fighting against all difficult conditions and social constraints, our Şehid Sara Agirî did not accept the traditional characteristics of women that lived in her home and that were created by the system. She used every opportunity she found to develop herself.

Şehid Sara Agirî managed to go to university on her own and studied electronics at Agirî University. There she had the opportunity to get to know the Kurdistan Freedom Movement firsthand, which she followed with great curiosity and enthusiasm during her studies. A year before she graduated, she was targeted by the Turkish occupation police and was taken prisoner. The colonialist Turkish state, which could not subjugate Şehid Sara Agirî, arrested her in order to break her will and distance her from our chairman and the Kurdistan Freedom Movement. Şehid Sara Agirî spent three years in the dungeons of the colonial state in Erzirom and spent this time on her ideological education. With this approach, she got to know her own strength as a woman better and revealed her identity as a free woman more and more.
Şehid Sara who got acquainted with the women’s liberation ideology that Rêber Apo had developed for all oppressed women, got to know the PKK with the heroines and heroes created by the PKK in all its depth and was actively involved in the works of the youth. In the system where women are considered worthless, the ideology of Rêber Apo gave her great strength and morality. When she began to know herself as a woman, she developed a deep connection with Rêber Apo and his struggle, and she worked tirelessly to become a fighter for the path of truth drawn by Rêber Apo. She focused on raising her consciousness by continuing her activities in the Kurdish youth movement and responding with her struggle to the pressure of the fascist regime in Turkey. Against all the intimidation and tyranny of the invaders, Şehid Sara was able to stand up to the enemy with her identity as a free woman.
After she was released from prison in 2015, she played a leading role in youth and women’s work with greater enthusiasm and energy in many cities of Kurdistan, especially in Amed, Riha, Istanbul and Turkish metropolises. Şehid Sara Agirî who was introduced to the real and free life with the philosophy of Rêber Apo, rejected the supposed opportunities of the system and joined the ranks of the guerrillas in 2016.
Heval Sara, who worked in Komelên Ciwan for a while and passed on her knowledge and experience to her young comrades, later embarked on training herself to become more competent in the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla. Şehid Sara Agirî, who reinvented herself with the training she received, participated in the struggle with all her soul to be worthy of the Şehids of Kurdistan’s freedom struggle, especially Şehid Sara (Sakine Cansız), whose name she bore. She became an exemplary fighter of the PKK and PAJK line in every environment she was in and showed strong practice by joining hands with her comrades. Our comrade Sara, who developed rapidly in both ideological and military fields, continued her breathless struggle until the day she fell in the Zap Şehid area on June 8, 2022.
Through a video message, Şehid Sara Agirî addressed her word to the Kurdish people and especially the youth of Kurdistan and called, in addition to the social development of a unified and common struggle against the enemy occupiers, especially the youth and young women to join the ranks of the guerrillas to be the answer to the continued isolation against Rêber Apo, to liberate themselves, as well as the women, their own people and the oppressed peoples worldwide. Şehid Sara Agirî has captivated everyone who met her with her struggle and resistance and her weapon will not be left on the ground with thousands of youths and especially young women picking it up and following its trail to bring their dreams and goals into fulfillment with the continuation of their struggle.
