ARK News: Tuesday, December 20, 2022, marked the sixth anniversary of the martyrdom of three members of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, in one of the camps of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Afrin, in Syrian Kurdistan after they were forcibly driven to their camps.

On 19-12-2016, due to a fire in the tent in which Izzat Muhammad Khalil, 67, Abdo Muhammad Habash, 52, and Mohsen Muhammad, 42, from the village of Barbane of Rajo town, used to sleep in one of the PYD camps in the village of Tel Ajar in the Izaz region, adjacent to Afrin, Muhammad Khalil, Abdo Muhammad Habash, and Mohsen Muhammad were martyred in mysterious circumstances, without the PYD officials disclosing the circumstances of the crime, other than saying that a fire broke out in the tent that led to the death of the three persons.
One of the sons of the martyr, Khalil a son of Izzat Muhammad Khalil, told ARK News: The PYD and the BKK are responsible for the martyrdom of the three people, adding, “It is not reasonable for three people to be martyred in one tent, without one of the guards present there seeking to present A helping hand and free one of them from the burnt tent.

Khalil continued: "The martyrdom of each of Muhammad Khalil, Abdo Muhammad Habash, and Mohsen Muhammad, was targeted, deliberately, systematically, and vengeful, because of their refusal to obey their instructions and join the compulsory service. In spite of that and constant refusal, they were taken to the camps to perform compulsory service, indicating: Because of their affiliation with the Barzani approach, they were targeted in that camp at the time.

Refusal of handing over funerals

The families of the martyrs demanded the funeral of the three members, in order to bury their martyrs in the cemetery of their village in Barbane.

About the handover of the funeral of the martyrs, Khalil said, "We are proud of our three martyrs, as they are the martyrs of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria.

This crime is considered one of the crimes that the PYD committed during their administration of the area, against civilians and against activists and people opposed to their policy. PYD militants have other precedents in Afrin and other Kurdish areas, such as the perpetration of the massacre of Sheikh Hanan of the Sheikh Na`asan family, the massacre of Burj Abdalo, the raid on the village of Cheqilma and the assassination of the young Sharvan Cheqilma, in addition to the targeting of three of the Sheikho family in the Shiye town.
