On the eighth anniversary of his martyrdom, Aytaç Baran, the former head of the New İhya Association, will be commemorated by his family, friends, and loved ones. Baran was tragically killed by members of the PKK in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır on June 9, 2015.

The commemoration event will take place at Baran's grave in the Bağlar district of Diyarbakır following the Asr prayer on Sunday. It will serve as an opportunity for those close to Baran to honor his memory and pay their respects.

The attack on Baran, which occurred shortly after the June 7th General Election, was captured by security cameras. One attacker was apprehended, while the other was killed by the police in the Yenişehir district of Diyarbakır.

During the subsequent trial related to the assassination, Diyadin Gümüş, a 22-year-old suspect who was not held in custody, stood trial on charges of PKK membership and deliberate killing. Despite the charges against him, Gümüş was ultimately acquitted.

The commemoration serves as a solemn reminder of Aytaç Baran's sacrifice while serving Islamic cause.

It provides an opportunity for those who knew him to honor his memory and reflect on the impact he made during his life.

The commemorative event not only pays tribute to Baran's memory but also serves as a reminder of the need to continue working towards peace and security in the region.

As family, friends, and loved ones gather to commemorate Aytaç Baran, his legacy and sacrifice will be remembered, ensuring that his memory lives on and inspires others in their pursuit of justice and peace. (ILKHA)
