Thirty-seven years since the martyrdom of the young Suleiman Addie
ARK News… today, March 21, 2023, marks the 37th anniversary of the martyrdom of the young Suleiman Addie by the bullets of the Syrian regime in Damascus, the capital.
About the life of the martyr
Suleiman Muhammad Amin Addie, his mother, Fajra, was born in 1967 in the village of Lotka from a simple village family of six people, and he was the youngest of his siblings. The martyr Suleiman moved to the capital, Damascus, to seek a livelihood, due to the lack of job opportunities in the area.
On March 21, 1986, Suleiman was shot dead by the Republican Guard, during the protest march by our Kurdish people in front of the Republican Palace, after they were prevented from celebrating Newroz by the authorities at the time.
After that, Hafez al-Assad issued a decree according to which he considered March 21 an official holiday in the country under the name of Mother's Day.
