Afrin people bid farewell to victim of Til Rifat massacre: Resistance will continue

People gave a message of resistance against the genocidal attacks of the Turkish state forces, accompanied by mercenary groups notorious for the most brutal crimes and practices against people in the areas they have occupied.

Hundreds of people from Afrin bid farewell to Nazliye Mistefa, one of the three victims of the massacre carried out by the Turkish state forces in the northern Syrian town of Til Rifat on Saturday.

Masses joined the funeral procession from the Avrin Hospital to the cemetery in the Fafin district of the Shehba canton.

The funeral ceremony was attended by a large number of people who gave a message of resistance against the genocidal attacks of the Turkish state forces, accompanied by mercenary groups notorious for the most brutal crimes and practices against people in the areas they have occupied.

Speaking at the ceremony at the cemetery that began with a minute of silence in memory of all martyrs, PYD (Democratic Union Party) Coordination Member Hediye Yusif condemned the attacks of the occupation forces and said: “The Turkish state is committing indiscriminate massacres, targeting children, women and elderly, in an attempt to displace people from their lands. The resistance mounted in Shehba infuriates the enemy. No matter how intense the attacks might become, we will continue to resist. Our struggle will continue until Afrin is liberated.”

Following further speeches by Afrin Canton Councilor Mihemed Remedan and Shehba Canton Councilor Nesrin İlewi, Mistefa was laid to rest accompanied by slogans and chants.
