This blog is honored to gather materials that are connected to the memory of Şehîd members of TA – comrades who fell while participating in people’s self-defense and engaging in revolutionary militant struggle.
One year ago, April 19th 2023, close to Bakhmut, three comrades came under artillery fire. The attack of the Russian occupation forces in Ukraine brought their life to an end. Few days latter a vigil took place in Kyiv to remember them and their struggle. Two of those comrades joined the ranks of the Rojava revolution years before they decided to go to Ukraine, and we sent a letter for their funeral.
Today marks 5 years since our comrade Lorenzo Orsetti (Tekoşer Piling) gave his life while fighting with the Syrian Democratic Forces against the last bastion of the Islamic State in Syria, in Al-Baghuz Fawqani, Deir Ezzor. To honour his memory we are re-publishing his last journals and writings.
