The statement includes the following:

“Samo Xosteyi Bebî, a member of the Asayish (public security) forces, died of a serious disease in Kobanê yesterday (Feb. 13). Martyr Samo was one of the first internationalists who answered the call of Kobanê people for liberation from the darkness of the terror that has threatened the entire humanity and the world.
