Diljîn Bêlatî

Diljîn Bêlatî was born in Çelê (tr. Çukurca, Colemêrg/Hakkari province) and grew up in an environment close to the PKK. Her childhood and youth were shaped by the Kurdish liberation struggle and the oppression by the Turkish state. As a young woman, she drew strength from the women's guerrilla group that fought for freedom in the surrounding mountains. In 2014, when ISIS invaded Kurdistan and carried out massacres, she decided to join the armed resistance and joined a guerrilla group in the Zagros Mountains. She took part in basic training for new fighters and studied the ideology of women's liberation and the prerequisites for a free life.

She spent the first four years of her guerrilla life in the Zagros. In view of the annihilation plan against the Kurdish movement implemented by the Turkish state from 2015 onwards, her primary goal was to become a fully armed fighter. After receiving specialized military and ideological training to prepare for combat, she was sent to the western front of the Zap region and took part in the resistance against the Turkish occupation forces.

"Our comrade Diljîn fought unreservedly and left an unforgettable mark with her militant attitude, her strong camaraderie and her simple sincerity," the HPG said. "On November 1, 2024, she joined the caravan of the fallen during an enemy attack."

Pîran Suweyda

Pîran Suweyda belonged to the Goyî tribe and was born in the Mexmûr refugee camp in southern Kurdistan. She grew up in the Kurdish liberation movement and, as a child, saw her future in the guerrillas. An uncle, a cousin and other close relatives of hers were killed in battle.

She was enthusiastic about the revolution in Rojava and took part in political discussions and social activities in Mexmûr. Her understanding of Abdullah Öcalan's philosophy grew and she resisted patriarchal domination. At a time of heavy attacks on the Kurdish movement, she went to the mountains to fight with the guerrillas as a free woman.

She saw her joining the guerrillas as the first step towards freedom. Thanks to her life experience, she was already able to help other new guerrillas settle in during basic training. She took on responsibility and practical tasks and quickly developed into a competent YJA Star guerrilla. When she came to the Zap region of her own volition, she took part in the construction of the infrastructure and resisted the tunnel war with great courage. On 1 November, she was killed in an enemy attack on the Western Front in the Zap.
