Woman prisoner Garibe Gezer was murdered on 9 December 2021 after she was subjected to sexual and physical violence while being held in Kandıra F Type Closed Prison. Numerous women attended the commemoration held at the headquarters of the Democratic Regions Party (DBP) Mêrdîn Provincial Organization. The commemoration event started with a moment of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in the struggle for freedom and democracy. After the moment of silence, HDP Mêrdîn Provincial Co-Chair Berivan Bahçeci delivered a speech in which she said that women would keep the memory of Gezer alive.

In a speech afterwards, TJA activist Ayşe Bozan said that the violations of rights in prisons did not end after Gezer was murdered in prison and added that those who struggle for freedom was subjected to isolation. Bozan stressed that Gezer was murdered because she refused isolation and crackdown just like other prisoners who faced isolation and torture in prisons. “We condemn this mentality and approach. We will fight by keeping the memories of those who fought for freedom alive,” she said.

The commemoration was ended following a documentary about Garibe Gezer.
