News Center- Rozerin Çukur, a 16-year-old high school student who was shot and killed by snipers on January 8, 2016 during 24-hour curfew imposed on the Sur district of Amed (Diyarbakır), was commemorated at her grave.

 On the 8th anniversary of her death, her parents Fahriye and Mustafa Çukur visited her grave at the Herîdan (Kırkpınar) Village Cemetery in the Pîran (Dicle) district of Amed. Her parents placed flowers on their daughter’s grave and prayed.

‘You are a martyr of Kurdistan’

Fahriye Çukur made a speech at her daughter’s grave. “I sent my daughter to school; however, I received the bad news. My daughter wanted to be a doctor. We have not had your voice in the house for eight years. My daughter was not a ‘terrorist’. She had a notebook and a pen in her hand when she was shot and killed. You are a martyr of Kurdistan. I lost my Rozerin but I have thousands of daughters like Rozerin now. I'm proud of you. Your mother will visit your grave as long as she is alive. I want to be buried next to you when I die.”
