Anna Campbell, also known as Hêlîn Qereçox, was a British feminist, anarchist, and prison abolitionist who died on this day in 2018, fighting with the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) of Rojava during the Syrian civil war.
She was killed by a Turkish Armed Forces missile strike during the Turkish military operation in the Afrin Canton, Operation Olive Branch.
On her decision to join the Kurdish forces, Campbell said "I wanted to participate in the revolution of women that is being built up here and fight, and join also the weaponized fight against the forces of fascism and the enemies of the revolution. And so now I'm very happy and proud to be going to Afrin to be able to do this."
