Hundreds of people, People and Women's Protection Units’ fighters, the members and directors of the civil society organizations in the canton, and the co-chairs of Democratic Society Movement Council in Kobanî Aisha Effendi and Ahmed Sheikho attended the ceremony.

The ceremony started by holding a minute of silence. Then, the administrator in the Democratic Union Party (PYD) Fadhi Shifqat delivered  a speech in which he stressed that the gains made in Rojava and North Syria by liberating them from IS mercenaries and achieving co-existence among the components of the Syrian people in the north were due to the sacrifices of the martyrs.

After the speeches were delivered, the mothers of the martyrs and their children lit candles on the graves of the martyrs amid the distribution of candy to the audience.
