Bahoz Çiya (Erdal Marangoz), a guerrilla in the ranks of the People’s Defense Forces (HPG), lost his life in a Turkish attack in the vicinity of Mount Bagok in Mardin province on May 2.

The family of the fallen guerrilla fighter went to Mardin and identified their son’s body, kept in the morgue at the Training and Research Hospital.

The body of the HPG guerrilla was not handed over to his family although they had given blood samples for a DNA test.

Before the finalization of the DNA procedures, Bahoz Çiya’s body was buried in the Kamor Cemetery of the Nameless in Mardin’s Artuklu district on the grounds that 15 days had passed after his death.

In the meantime, the number of fighters who fell in battle and were buried in Kamor Cemetery of the Nameless has risen to 57.
