ŞEVİN ÇEKDAR
Our comrade Şevîn was born and grew up in a patriotic family in Cizîra Botan, which has always been one of the most important centers of Kurdistan with its culture, unyielding stance and insistence on free life. Our Cizîra Botan people, who have never bowed to oppressors in any period of history, have become the most important center of Kurdistan patriotism with this feature. Our Cizîr people, who do not hesitate to pay great prices for a free life, have always been subjected to the most brutal attacks and massacres by the invaders because of their honorable stance. Comrade Şevîn, one of the valiant sons of Cizîra Botan, who will never forget what she saw when she was a child, realized very early on that forgetting is betrayal. Coming from such a patriotic tradition, massacres at a young age, witnessing cruelty and torture enabled our comrade Şevîn to recognize the reality of the enemy early on. Realizing that the colonial and fascist Turkish state had no other option but to fight against the genocide and assimilation policies implemented against the Kurdish people in particular to women and young people, it sought to struggle with Botan’s unyielding tradition. Comrade Şevîn, who is actively involved in revolutionary youth work, played a leading role in the struggle against the unconscious and lowering attacks against women and youth. Our comrade Şevîn, who was waging an effective struggle, was attacked by the enemy and injured in his foot while he was working. To deal more effective blows to the enemy.

She has been determined to continue the line of free women inherited from Zîlans, Berîtans and many other martyred comrades as a competent YJA Star commander.

ARIN ARMANC
Our comrade Arîn was born in Aydın as a member of a family originally from Tetwan. With the development of our freedom struggle in Bakure Kurdistan, our people in Garzan also met the guerrilla and were deeply affected by the sacrifices made by the guerrilla for the freedom of our people. The family of our comrade Arîn was influenced by the struggle of Comrade Hozan Mizgîn (Gurbet Aydın), one of the legendary commanders of the Garzan area, and changed the name of our comrade Arîn to Mizgîn. Our comrade Arîn grew up with the heroic stories of Comrade Mizgîn and was deeply affected by the militant stance he developed against the enemy. Although our comrade Arîn grew up far from Kurdistan, her heart always beat with our people. She deeply felt the attacks of the enemy against our people, and her anger towards the enemy increased day by day. The fact that the enemy has carried out many massacres against our people, especially since 2015, has helped Comrade Arîn to take her place in the ranks of the struggle. During the Self-Government Resistance, she decided that our people should not remain indifferent as a Kurdish woman in the face of the historical resistance she developed against the enemy’s persecution, and she joined the ranks of the struggle with her relative Arîn (Tülay Eren) in 2016.
Our comrade Arîn, who first fought against the invaders with our people in the Gever area, learned guerrillaism under war conditions and made the best use of this advantage with his successful practice. The martyrdom of her relative Comrade Arîn (Tülay Eren) during the resistance process in Gever affected our comrade Arîn deeply and she realized that he could respond to the martyrdom by escalating her struggle. On this basis, our comrade Arîn, who moved from the Gever area to the Medya Defense Areas, participated in the Komalên Ciwan studies for a while. Later, after training new fighters in the Garê area, she became involved in the work in the same area. Our comrade Arîn, who has been practicing in the Garê area for about 3 years, has developed herself militarily and ideologically during this process and has deepened in Democratic Modernity Guerrillaism. Our comrade Arîn, who very well understood the importance of professionalization in the new period guerrillaism, received specialization training at the academic level within this framework and felt that she became stronger in the military sense with the training he received. Especially as a Kurdish woman, she has been involved in an intense effort to assimilate Leader Apo’s Women’s Liberation Ideology. She has created important changes in her personality within the framework of our leadership’s analysis of women’s freedom and has taken firm steps towards becoming a free woman. Comrade Arîn, who is extremely sincere in her comradely relations, has impressed all her comrades with this feature. For this reason, she has always been a loved and respected comrade by her comrades.

First of all, she wanted to respond to the resistance of her comrades in Heftanîn and alleviate their burden by taking her place in the actions carried out in the Metîna area during the enemy’s attacks on the Heftanîn area. Likewise, in 2021, it has been in constant action against the attacks of the enemy, especially against Avaşîn, Zap and Metîna areas, and has shown a unique example of sacrifice especially to further support the historical resistance in Zendura. Feeling her comrades in the resistance positions enabled our comrade Arîn to enlarge her struggle even more. Our comrade Arîn, who is a source of strength and morale to all her comrades with her militant stance in the war, added more and more experience to her experiences with each passing day and managed to become a guerrilla capable of performing actions under any difficult conditions. Thanks to these features, she has succeeded in becoming a sought-after comrade by all her comrades and wanted to work with. Our comrade Arîn, who was constantly on the alert against the attacks launched by the enemy on the Medya Defense Areas on April 14, was mostly located in the Girê Hakkarî area and has been actively involved in many works, especially the infrastructure preparations, against a possible attack by the enemy. With her efforts in these works, she contributed significantly to the preparation of the war tunnels and played an important role in the construction of the historical Girê Hakkarî resistance. Our comrade Arîn, who always responded with the mission of leadership against the attacks launched by the enemy against the Girê Hakkarî Resistance Area, took her place in the first actions against the enemy attacks and tried to fulfill her historical responsibility. In this context, our comrade Arîn, who marched on the enemy selflessly in an action against the enemy on 30 June, fought the enemy until the last bullet and reached martyrdom in a successful action in which many enemy soldiers were punished. As a brave Kurdish woman, we repeat the promise of our comrade Arin, who is one of the most valuable militants of the women’s liberation line with her uncompromising stance against the enemy, like thousands of her comrades who fought for the freedom of our people before her and became martyrs, that we will be the fighters of dreams of freedom.

SUPHI TOLHILDAN
Our comrade Suphi was born in Adana as a member of a family originally from Suruç. Since his family was devoted to patriotic and Kurdistani values, our comrade Suphi also recognized and sympathized with the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle from an early age. Our comrade Suphi, who has taken his place in revolutionary work since his youth, has been involved in youth work for many years. While he was in youth work, he successfully fulfilled his pioneering role in every field he was in, with his effort and self-sacrifice. He did his best to make the Kurdish and democratic youth know our Leadership and our Party and flow into the ranks of the struggle. He carried out more awareness-raising and organizing activities in youth work, which he took part in with great devotion, but when appropriate, he also took part in actions against the genocidal Turkish state. In this sense, he participated in many youth serhildans against the enemy in the Adana area at the leadership level. After meeting our Party and the Leadership ideology, he became more aware of the contradictions in life and realized that overcoming these contradictions is possible with the Leader’s philosophy. He has been in constant struggle for this, and has made a unique effort for the leadership’s philosophy to be understood by the society and for it to come to life.

Our comrade Suphi, who previously had organizational experience due to youth work, had no difficulty in adapting to guerrilla and mountain life due to his life experiences. Although he had worked with some guerrilla friends before, he was greatly influenced by the guerrillas he met on the mountain. In particular, the fact that female comrades were fighting against the enemy with great will and leading in life, despite all the difficulties, caused our comrade Suphi to join the struggle more actively and wholeheartedly. When he compared the situation of women in the system with the leadership level of the female comrades in the guerrilla ranks before joining, he once again understood how strong our Leader’s ideology is. For this reason, he deepened himself more in the philosophy of the Leadership and began to overcome the dominative features created by the system. After staying in the Garzan area for a while, our comrade Suphi went to the Medya Defense Zones, and then went to the Shengal area after ISIS gangs attacked our people in Shengal and carried out massacres. He fought with great effort and sacrifice in the war against the gangs in the Shengal area. Our comrade Suphi, who instills strength in all his comrades with his courage and high morale, has become a leading commander with his stance in life. He took part in many moves and actions against ISIS gangs and increased his war experience day by day. Our comrade Suphi returned to the mountains of Kurdistan, which he longed for, with the pride of successfully completing his mission after Shengal was cleared of the gangs and liberated. He trained in military academies in order to bring his war experience in the Shengal area to a scientific framework and share it with all his comrades, and deepened himself in the guerrilla tactics of the new era. Our comrade Suphi, who won the respect of all his comrades with his pioneering militant stance in the educational environment, also became an exemplary Apoist militant with his hardworking, self-sacrificing and humble lifestyle. After the training, he made a suggestion to go to the areas where there was a hot war, and by insisting on these suggestions, he clearly showed his stance against the enemy attacks.

On this basis, our comrade Suphi, who moved to the field of Metina, participated in the revolutionary work in the field of Metina for a long time. Our comrade Suphi, who took part in many different works, had an important contribution especially in the preparation of war tunnels. Participating in the works with the belief in the guerrilla tactics of the new era, our comrade Suphi sincerely believed that the war tunnels would add a new quality to our guerrilla struggle and reflected this in his works. Our comrade Suphi, who wanted to be a response to all the attacks developed by the colonial Turkish army within the framework of its attempts to invade Bashure Kurdistan, especially responded to the enemy’s attacks on the Metina area at the front line. Our comrade Suphi, who participated in the war in the positions in the Girê Hakkari Resistance Area, has fulfilled its historical pioneering role by fighting against the enemy both in the mobile guerrilla teams and in the war tunnels. He spent every moment with the responsibility and awareness of being worthy of our Leadership and our martyred comrades, and did not compromise this stance until the moment of martyrdom. Our comrade Suphi was martyred on July 23 during the action he carried out against the invading Turkish state, which wanted to settle in the Çarçel area of Girê Hakkarî, where local collaborators were also located. Our comrade Suphi, who led all his comrades with his stance in life until the moment he reached martyrdom, and who is one of the unique examples of Apoist militancy, became a reason for more struggle and revenge for all his comrades with his martyrdom.
