The Turkish army, which has failed in front of the step-by-step development of the guerrilla warfare and its achievement in the professional level, is trying to show its operations successful by arranging intense air attacks to cover each of its failures. However, the Apoist militant spirit, with its great resistance, has demonstrated a magnificent stance by fighting the bourgeois spirit, which guarantees victory in all circumstances against all enemy attacks. During the comprehensive enemy operation in Aliboğazı-Dersim between 27-29 April, our 10 comrades including Hindistan Penaber have joined the caravan of the Kurdistan freedom martyrs by showing great resistance.

Alişer (Seyfi Eder), Axin (Leyla Güneş), Canda (Zübeyde Göksu), Fırat (Sercan Edis), Nuda (Beyaz Bark), Numan (Ali Karaşin), Şilan (Dicle Bozan), Tekoşer (Ali Sezgin), Viyan (Dilek Kızılgün) and Viyan (Mesude Dinç) comrades, who have joined our freedom movement in different dates, have become an example by being comrades who struggle to meet all kinds of tasks with great enthusiasm.
