A commemoration event for Dîdar Harun took place in the Kurdish community center in Hanover. The female guerrilla fighter YJA Star died last June in the fight against the Turkish invasion in South Kurdistan together with Özgür Memyan and Zemanî Rojhat, members of the People's Defense Forces (HPG). The guerrilla unit had launched resistance on the west wing of the Zap Front days earlier.

Numerous people from Hanover took part in the funeral service, which was organized jointly by the movement of militant young women (TekoJIN), the Kurdish women's movement in Europe (TJK-E) and the Association of Relatives of the Fallen and Disappeared (KOMAW). The program began with a minute's silence for all those who died in the liberation struggle and ended with the slogan "Şehîd namirin" (The dead are immortal).

He reported on his personal experiences with Dîdar Harun, whom he had known since childhood through a family relationship, and described his feelings when hearing of her death. "The Kurdish youth in Europe has an essential role to play in our liberation struggle," said Serhado.
