"Our friend Helin Bölek who was the voice of the art of revolution, also joined the long list of bards who lost their life while serving their people. We pay tribute to Helin and we pay respect to her family."
Kevana Zêrîn Rojava Culture and Art Movement paid tribute to Grup Yorum member Helin Bölek who lost her life after 288 days on death fast.
Kevana Zêrîn Rojava Culture and Art Movement said: "As Helin Bölek said, resisting alone is not enough, the resistance can only be strong with organization."
The statement added: "Humanity owes its existence to its bards. They were the simplest and genuine guides of people. They showed us where we came from, who we are, and where to go.
Our friend Helin Bölek who was the voice of the art of revolution, also joined the long list of bards who lost their life while serving their people. We pay tribute to Helin and we pay respect to her family."
The statement continued: "As Kevana Zêrîn Rojava women's cultural and artistic movement, we promise Helin Bölek that we will carry her resistance and art forward to a free tomorrow on the basis of organization. The Rojava revolution is a women's revolution. If we turn Helin's resistance into organized action, we will all win. Our friend Helin Bölek will always live and have a place among the Mesopotamian peoples and poets with her artist stance, essence and resistance."
