For his part, Member of the Martyrs' Families Council in Manbij, Mohamed al-Sheikh, pointed to the sanctity of graves and said, "Humanly, cemeteries have sanctities that cannot be tampered with, and this work (exhuming the martyrs' shrine) is close to ISIS acts in the past, and now Turkey is taking the same approach."

He added, "We condemn and denounce the actions of the Turkish occupation and its sabotage of shrines of the martyrs who resisted the Turkish invasion during the occupation of the Syrian Afrin city."

Mohamed al-Sheikh concluded his speech by saying, "The martyrs are sacred, and they sacrificed their blood so that we might live, but the Turkish state does not like that, so it always desecrates the sanctities and sacrifices of free and struggling people."
