To Our People and Public Opinion
The children who grew up on stories of heroism in this land have developed a strong will and learned how to transform their hatred of occupation into an unparalleled struggle. With this firm belief, they turned themselves into a flame of fire and became shields for the honor of their people against all attacks of genocide. Our honorable comrades — Solin Rojhelat, Rojnak Jinda, and Awaz Jia — in this march toward the light, have become beacons that pierce through the darkness of centuries. We extend our deepest condolences, first and foremost, to the families of our honorable comrades, and to all patriotic people of Kurdistan.
In the history of freedom, there are names that are never buried; rather, they become seeds that grow in the hearts of millions. Among these shining stars that rose on the horizon of the revolution is Comrade Solin Rojhelat. She was not merely a fighter, but an ocean of sacrifice and a river flowing with passion toward the sea of freedom. She joined the ranks of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) with unbreakable determination and a heart full of love for her homeland. In every step she took, there was the vengeance of oppressed women and a longing for a free land.
Her struggle was not merely a war against the occupying enemy; she also fought to build the “free woman” and a revolutionary character. Sacrifice was not just a word for Comrade Solin—it was a philosophy of life. She devoted every moment of her life to the freedom of her people. Today, her name echoes in every chant of “Woman, Life, Freedom,” connecting the four parts of Kurdistan like a living bridge. On January 21, 2026, in the city of Raqqa, our comrade Solin Rojhelat attained martyrdom with courage and became an eternal symbol of Kurdistan.
Seham Jamal (Rojnak Jinda)
Rojnak Jinda embodied a new life built upon the foundation of women’s freedom. In the journey of the free woman, life emerges from its ordinary meaning to become a heroic and philosophical act. Our comrade Rojnak described the emergence of women into the light as “the greatest revolution in history,” and with this belief, she set out on the path of truth.
When we say Rojnak, we speak of the sunlight that decorates the sky with the colors of a rainbow. She symbolized that women no longer wish to remain in the shadow of patriarchal systems; they have become a source of light themselves. She is the memory of those women who sacrificed their lives for freedom and became the foundation of a new life. Comrade Rojnak Jinda fought bravely against the gangs of the Damascus government in Raqqa on January 21, 2026, where she reached the peak of her struggle.
Our Comrade Melek Bozan (Awaz Jia)
She spread her wings from the valley of Kobani to the peaks of freedom. Awaz Jia, the brave girl from Kobani, is a living memory of that land which opened its eyes to the world within a patriotic family. The spirit of Kobani’s resistance, which shook the world, was reborn in her character.
Awaz became an example of true friendship and unmatched heroism in the darkest conditions of war. She proved that a woman from Kobani, armed with the philosophy of freedom, can become the leader of her own life. On January 21, 2026, in the city of Raqqa, our comrade Awaz Jia joined the caravan of immortals after a fierce battle, immortalizing her voice in the sky of freedom.
The journey that became a will with Solin, a call for freedom with Awaz, and a ray of a new dawn with Rojnak, remains alive in the hearts of all freedom fighters. These three comrades are pillars of the fortress of resistance built upon sacred land. As their comrades, we pledge to carry their banner until victory and to fulfill their dream of a “Free Kurdistan and Free Leadership.”
