YPG fighters Remedan Efrîn (Ciwan Efrîn) and Ibrahim Ehmed (Cûdî Çiya), who died on December 18, were laid to rest in Shehba with great sympathy. The bodies were accompanied by a large crowd of people from Afrin and Shehba from Avrîn Hospital in the district of Fafin to the Cemetery of the Martyrs in the Ehres district.

A minute's silence was first observed in the cemetery, where the graves of those who died in the resistance against the occupation of Afrin are located. Speeches were made to commemorate the struggle of the martyrs for the building of a democratic nation and against the occupation by the Turkish state and Turkish-backed jihadists.

The certificates of the martyrs were then read out and handed over to their families. The two martyrs were then laid to rest.

The area around the city of Afrin in north-western Syria was occupied by Turkey in spring 2018. The invasion cost thousands of people their lives and hundreds of thousands were displaced.
