The PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) Solidarity Committee with the Families of Martyrs announced that Şaha Hisên (Nom de Guerre: Şaha Dêrik) died of cancer on October 1 in Rojava. The committee expressed its sympathy to Abdullah Ocalan, all companions, the Kurdish people and all families of the martyrs and vowed to realize the dreams of the fallen.

According to PKK information, Şaha Hisên was born in 1968 in the village of Girê Sor Feqe near Dêrik and grew up in a patriotic family. After the martyrdom of her friend Berivan, she joined the PKK in 1989. She initially worked for the population for two years and impressed many people with her modest personality. In 1991 she went to the Mahsum Korkmaz Academy to get to know the party better and to educate herself in a revolutionary way.

In 2000, she began teaching Kurdish children their mother tongue. "She was in love with the nature and mountains of Kurdistan," writes the PKK in its obituary. She took part in the revolution of Rojava with great commitment. Especially in Afrin, she worked to educate and organize the people. Şaha Hisên's sister fell a martyr in Southern Kurdistan in 1997.
