On 7 March 2015 Ivana Hoffman, Avaşin Tekoşin Güneş, fell in the fight for freedom against the Islamic State .

Her comrades in the international brigades of the YPG, YPJ and MLKP paid tribute to her  with a video.

In a message the internationalists said: "On her departure she wrote that if necessary, she will defend the revolution in Rojava with her life. And that’s what she did. But in this fight she has regained her freedom.

Today we are missing her in the fight against Turkish fascism. But she has become a support for us, which gives us strength and courage again and again. She lives on in our resistance."
