“Today, the body of British YPG martyr Ryan Lock arrived in the UK.

All women of the YPJ send our condolences to Ryan’s family and friends at this difficult time.

What Ryan gave us is the purest form of solidarity. We have a saying here: “martyrs never die”. The memory of Ryan’s life will forever live on in our struggle for the freedom of the people of Syria and our hope for change in the whole world.

May he rest in peace.

Your comrades forever,”



YPJ – Women’s Protection Units
