Only after five months did the family of the guerrilla Bahoz Mijînî receive the body of the fallen fighter. The burial took place under police blockade. Even the imam was prevented from saying a prayer for the dead.
The Turkish state does not even let the fallen guerrilla fighters rest in peace. The relatives of the fallen are systematically humiliated and harassed by the Turkish state.
The guerrilla fighter Bahoz Mijînî, whose real name is Mücahit Tok, was martyred on 4 July 2022 in the Kato Jîrka area in the northern Kurdish province of Şirnak. He was subsequently buried by the authorities in a cemetery for the "nameless". Only when, after a long procedure, a matching DNA result was found, was the body of the fighter allowed to be exhumed again and handed over to the family. That was not all. After Mijînî's family received the body, the humiliations continued. The cemetery in Silopi, where Mijînî was to be buried, was surrounded by police and only the closest relatives were allowed in. Any religious burial ceremony was denied. The imam was prevented from saying the prayer for the fallen fighter. After the silent burial, the only thing left for the family to do was to leave the cemetery again.
