Internationalists commemorate Elefteria Hambi in Turin

Internationalists in Turin paid tribute to Elefteria Hambi who fell a martyr in an attack carried out by the invading Turkish army with warplanes in the Sêdarê area of Garê on 25 November 2019.

Young internationalists  in Turin commemorated martyr Elefteria (Eva Maria Steiger) at the monument built for the Partisans who were martyred while fighting against the Nazis. The commemoration began with a minute's silence for all martyrs of the revolution in Kurdistan and elsewhere in the person of martyr Elefteria.


In a speech at the commemoration event, it was noted that Elefteria went to Rojava to defend Afrin against the fascist Turkish invaders and, in her own words, "left Europe behind" in search of the true meaning of freedom. “She rejected the freedom lies of the system that taught us to seek freedom within the individual and to seek it in fabricated individual identities. Instead, she wanted to feel what true freedom felt like. Later, she went to Kurdistan with the experience of dozens of struggles in Europe, such as the occupation of the forest in Germany, from which she took her surname.”

The speech continued by explaining how “Elefteria embodied the true spirit of internationalism and how she followed the epic tradition of all our martyrs who guided us on the path to a free society, democratic confederalism based on ecology, democracy and women's freedom.”

The commemoration ended with the young people present expressing their determination to make the martyrs’ dreams of a free world come true and to continue their struggle until victory.
