Message of Solidarity from the mother of Ş. Lêgerîn
for the people of the DAANES
In challenging times like the ones we’re living in today we gain strength from those around us, those friends who are ready to walk the stony road at our side.
For the Kurdish Freedom Movement and the people of North and East Syria, one of these friends is Patricia Gregorini, the mother of Alina Sanchez – Şehîd Lêgerîn Çiya.
Even before and especially after Şehîd Lêgerîn reached martyrdom in 2018, her mother Patricia time after time raised her voice in support for her daughters’ comrades and the Kurdish people.
Following the latest attacks on the Rojava Revolution, Patricia sent us these words of solidarity:
Hello, I’m the mother of Alina Sanchez, Şehîd Lêgerîn, my name is Patricia Gregorini. With this video I want to send my solidarity to the Kurdish people in these difficult times under the attacks of Erdogan. I appreciate your courage, your love for life and how you protect your loved ones around you. You who are so united in this fight. I hope that everything will end well and that this cause will be settled in a way that gives you justice. In memory of my daughter who loved your people so much. I want to give you strength, support and to value your fight. Thank you for continuing the fight for this model of a free life.
Şehîd Lêgerîn was born 1986 in Argentina. Since her childhood she was known for her warmth and passion and her ambition to make the world a better place. Growing up she kept and developed these traits even further, resulting in a search for her place in life.
This search led her from Argentina to Cuba where she studied medicine and Chiapas and finally in 2011 to Kurdistan where she joined the guerilla in the mountains of the Medya Defence Zone.
Witnessing the reality of war first hand her determination only grow stronger, so she finished her medical studies in Cuba before she temporarly returned to Argentina. In this time she layed the groundwork for many connections and relationships that exist until today.
In 2015 she returned to Kurdistan and after arriving in Rojava she soon became an integral part of the work to build up a healthcare system that would truly serve the people.
In the following years she connected with thousands of people who recall her as a fighter, a healer, an organiser and a comrade with endless dedication.
On 17th of March 2018 Şehîd Lêgerîn tragically fell Şehîd from a car accident near Hesekê.
She has been an inspiration to many and her memory carries the revolution forward. Honouring her intense dedication in building up the healthcare system in Rojava, a hospital in Til Temir was built, carrying her name.
