The funeral ceremony, initially scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed to Monday at 5 p.m. and will take place at the Dicle Martyr’s Shrine in Kobani.

The postponement follows the announcement of a period of mourning in Kobani on Sunday and Monday, during which institutions and markets in the city will be closed.

Kobani witnessed heightened security tensions on Friday following a large demonstration protesting the killing of Sipan Hazni, a fighter in the Syrian Ministry of Defense. Several young men were subsequently arrested. Tensions later escalated inside the city’s prison amid reports that detainees would be transferred to Aleppo, resulting in the deaths of eight inmates and injuries to 17 others, some of them critically.
