Our comrade Avareş, who grew up there as his family migrated to Dilok, was brought up in a patriotic environment. That’s why he recognized the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle from an early age. Our comrade Avareş, the eldest of 6 siblings, matured early with the awareness of his social duties. While studying for 9 years on the one hand, he worked at the pharmacist on the other hand and knew how to stand by his own efforts. Our comrade Avareş was never deceived by the policies of capitalist modernity and the assimilationist Turkish state on the youth, with the strong social morals and values he received from his family, and he always knew how to protect his essence. Our comrade Avaresh, who has great sympathy for the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, took an interest in our struggle and took part in patriotic revolutionary youth work.

He engraved in his heart to take part in the cause of existence and freedom of the Kurdish people, to fight for his people and to lead the revolutionary people’s war to victory, and on this basis he joined the guerrilla ranks in March 2014.
Comrade Avaresh, who joined the guerrilla ranks in Zap, was very impressed when he saw the guerrilla’s life on the basis of comradeship. He saw that the life of the PKK, which came into existence with free will and freedom, was nowhere, and he always expressed his admiration for this life. Knowing that physically joining the guerrilla is only the first step of being revolutionary, our comrade Avareş reshaped himself to become a complete PKK member and to become a revolutionary with his whole being. From his style to his manners, from his style to his understanding, he changed himself on the basis of revolutionary culture and morality.

SERXWEBÛN AMED
Our comrade Serxwebûn was born in Amed, the capital of Kurdistan, in a patriotic family and environment. Participation in the freedom struggle took place from the close circle of our comrade Serxwebûn, the youngest of the three siblings. Our comrade Serxwebûn, who studied for 8 years, left school and worked in different jobs as a worker. The colonialist Turkish state, which tries to drain the Kurdish youth from their essence, distance them from their identity and break them off from the freedom struggle, is consciously promoting the use of drugs in Kurdistan. As a result of these immoral and despicable policies of the Turkish state, our comrade Serxwebûn got used to drugs when he was a young boy. After getting involved in the drug swamp of the Turkish state, he distanced himself from his family and suffered a swing for five years. But our comrade Serxwebûn, In this process, he recognized the freedom struggle of his people, was influenced by the developing resistance and patriotic revolutionary youth. He became a comrade with the youth in the patriotic revolutionary youth work and joined them, and took a place in the patriotic environment woven with the pure values of the freedom struggle. As our comrade Serxwebûn approached the freedom struggle step by step and took a place in it, he began to get away from and purify himself from the drug scourge he was caught in. It was first affected by the epic resistance in Kobanê, by the defeat of ISIS, and then by the glorious resistance of the YPS that developed in Amed Sur in 2015. Feeling the liberating spirit of the PKK, our comrade Serxwebûn, who chose to be a part of this struggle, left all the dirt of capitalist modernity behind and joined the guerrilla ranks by taking the road to the mountains of Kurdistan at the end of 2015.
Our comrade Serxwebûn, who felt as if he was born again when he joined the guerrilla ranks, started to become a revolutionary and freedom fighter of his people with firm steps. He received his first guerrilla training in Metîna, then began to gain experience by participating in the practical process there. It developed, strengthened, purified and re-created itself as it acquired the consciousness and spirit of freedom with the Apoist ideology. Comrade Serxwebûn worked and labored in the construction of battle positions and tunnels, and the more he worked, the stronger the morale he gained from it. Comrade Serxwebûn blossomed like a rose in the PKK’s free life based on a democratic commune and a free individual. His joy of life increased, his morale rose, his faith grew, his love for freedom became a passion. Our comrade Serxwebûn, the Apoist ideology that takes man from dwarfism to greatness,
Our comrade Serxwebûn trained himself militarily, in addition to his social development, comradely relations and revolutionary level. He became a guerrilla who took firm steps to cook in practice, received the great support of his comrades and gained experience. In 2017, he went to the military specialization academy and learned professional guerrilla and specialized in using individual and medium automatic weapons. At the same time, he learned the guerrilla’s strategy of struggle in depth, and thanks to what he learned about the guerrilla’s tactical level and fighting style, he made significant progress. Our comrade, who moved to the Zap field after the military academy, participated in the practical process here.

Our comrade, who trained himself in the practical process, was also trained in sabotage tactics in a short time and became more competent.
Our comrade Serxwebûn read Rêber Apo more and concentrated on it in order to understand the line of women’s freedom and to make the right companionship with the free woman. He saw that the statist civilization, capitalist modernity and its fascist Turkish nation-state aimed to lower women by targeting them, aimed to bring down the whole society by lowering women, and tried to spread slavery to the bones of the society. On the other hand, our comrade Serxwebûn, by transcending the dominant male characteristics, understanding and approaches in her own personality, became free, not only giving self-criticism against women’s truth, but also tried to be a true companion of a free woman. The martyrdom of our comrade Dîcle Hêvîdar (Rojbîn Akyol), the daughter of our comrade Serxwebûn’s uncle, on 9 June 2018 in Amed further deepened this effort and sharpened his anger towards the enemy.
Our comrade Serxwebûn, who gained a great deal of experience, specialized in guerrilla tactics and gained an important level, went to Bakure Kurdistan where he continued his guerrilla activities. Regardless of the difficult conditions and impossibilities in the Gever region, he struggled with great determination and patience. He actively participated in the actions that took place to avenge the years that the colonialist genocidal Turkish state stole from him and what he caused our people. Our comrade Serxwebûn expressed his purpose and march in the guerrilla with the following words in a report he wrote: “I will play the desired role and mission with the perspective of the restructuring given to us by the organization by displaying a more organizational and Apoist militant stance in the next practice by drawing a great lesson from every problem. I will participate more actively in the process in order to make this year the year of victory and to liberate the Leader physically, I will nullify the enemy technique and deal heavy blows to the enemy. I will ensure to specialize in the guerrilla and to deepen and concentrate, and I will base on inflicting heavy bills on the enemy in every area he comes across.
Our comrade Serxwebûn came into contact with the enemy while he was on duty with two of his comrades on June 20, 2023 and fought selflessly with great courage. The cowardly Turkish army, who was hit, could not risk a hand-to-hand confrontation and retreated one step and heavily bombarded the area where our comrades were with the war technique in hand. Our comrades Serxwebûn, Avareş and Raman were martyred as a result of these bombardments.
Our comrade Serxwebûn’s participation in the freedom struggle, which he said was the “best decision I have ever made in my life,”, his struggle for 8 years, his relentless embrace of his responsibilities from Metina to Zap, from Zap to Gever, and his heroic march to martyrdom. It has passed into our history of struggle as a revolutionary stance. Comrade Serxwebûn’s revolutionary struggle with a very honorable debut is the greatest source of pride and morale for his esteemed family, the entire Kurdish people and us comrades. Every patriotic Kurdish youth should take our comrade Serxwebûn’s path to freedom, exaltation, and heroism as an example for himself, and should not forget that he is never without an alternative in the face of the degenerate life of capitalist modernity. The memory of our comrade Serxwebûn will always be kept alive in our struggle.

RAMAN SINE
Our comrade Raman Sine grew up in a poor and modest family with a strong social morality. He was interested in the Kurdish serhildans, their resistance and the struggles in all parts of Kurdistan. Comrade Raman, who grew up with a deep-rooted Kurdish folk culture, worked in many jobs from construction worker to carpentry, knew how to make a living with his labor and helped his family. No matter how hard he worked, he never got what he deserved due to the economic exploitation of the Kurdish people. This reality, which Comrade Raman faced, caused our people to deeply understand and feel anger at the colonial situation. Comrade Raman, a mature and humble young man, was loved by his family and friends. With his high intelligence and hard work, he studied successfully for 13 years and went to the agriculture department at the university. But he was exposed to the discriminatory policies of the teachers at the school, which caused him to deeply question the existing system. Questioning the given order, Comrade Raman also realized that women were condemned to the lowest status in society. His heart never accepted that the woman, who is the dominant element that creates and runs life, is ignored so much, that women’s labor is exploited, that women’s names are not mentioned, that their faces are covered, that the whole basis of women’s living in their own color and freely is removed. At the same time, he was angered by the sectarian policies of the Iranian state and their approach that made a difference between people and divided the society. Comrade Raman, an enlightened young man, took an attitude against religionism, sectarianism and sexism.He got to know the PKK from the media, and was deeply impressed by the struggle and courage of the Apoist Fedayeen militants against ISIS. He was inspired by the incalculable revolutionism of the Apoists, their selfless struggle, their fighting for their people without any self-interest, and their majestic stance that defies fascism. When he saw the genocidal attacks of the colonialist genocidal Turkish state against Afrin in 2018, he was impressed by this, and he decided to join the struggle to avenge the people of Afrin and the entire Kurdish people, feeling great hatred and anger against the fascist Turkish state. Because Comrade Raman saw that the issue was not only a city of Kurdistan, but that the free Kurdishness in Afrin was wanted to be ended, and that this was the main purpose of the attacks.
Comrade Raman joined the guerrilla ranks in Qendil in 2018 without hesitation to keep free Kurdishness alive, to increase the struggle for existence and freedom of his people, and to create a free Kurdistan. Comrade Raman, as a young man with an enlightened mind and sincere heart, believed in the PKK until the end and started the revolutionary march with this belief. After seeing the new warrior training and getting his first experience in Qendil, he participated in practical activities without waiting. He worked selflessly with his mature personality, modest participation, immense joy of life and the excitement of joining the PKK. Comrade Raman, who won the love and respect of all his comrades, men and women, wanted to turn his guerrilla experience into the basis of a more successful march. On this basis, he was involved in training at the military specialty academy, It was based on mastering the new period war style and tactics of the democratic modernity guerrilla. He participated strongly in the training process, gained strength from his comrades and became a guerrilla specializing in sabotage tactics.
Comrade Raman, with his humble personality, never made a distinction between small and big tasks, he tried to do whatever the needs of our organization required. Comrade Raman, an exemplary Apoist militant, took part in infrastructure and war preparations, and provided significant benefits by exerting great effort and effort. He became a working guerrilla when appropriate, and a team commander leading his comrades when appropriate. Knowing that the colonialist genocidal Turkish state and its fascist policies are the greatest enemy of the Kurdish people, Comrade Raman constantly wanted to go to Bakurê Kurdistan and inflict the worst blows on the enemy in Bakur. Comrade Raman, whose proposal was accepted on this basis, went to Bakurê Kurdistan with great joy and claim of high success. He experienced the joy of being a guerrilla in Bakur, overcame all the difficulties he faced with his indomitable will.
The absolute isolation on Rêber Apo sharpened the hatred and anger of our comrade Raman and increased his desire for revenge. In particular, the inhumane attacks carried out by the invading Turkish army in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna, the reckless use of all kinds of war techniques, the use of chemical weapons in the most despicable manner, and the crimes against humanity prompted our comrade Raman to fight more. Being aware of the current and historical responsibility he carries as an Apoist revolutionary, Comrade Raman has raised the struggle in Bakure Kurdistan. He destroyed countless attacks and operations developed by the enemy with his expert team fighting style. At the same time, he took part in actions that managed to strike a blow to the invading enemy when he least expected it. He reached martyrdom by resisting to his last breath in the enemy attack that took place while he was on duty on June 20, 2023.
