He was born in 1956 in Sulaymaniyah. He completed his primary, secondary and agricultural colleges in Sulaymaniyah. After the bombing of 24-04-1974 and the martyrdom of Burhan Shaswar, he joined the ranks of the Kurdistan Ranjdaran Association (Kurdistan Marxist-Leninist Association) on his own initiative through martyr Azad Mullah Mohammed.
During a visit of the central representative and leadership of Komala to Sulaymaniyah Organization, the class of Martyr Krekar and its leader, Adnan Shaswar, were declared the most efficient organizing unit and members of Komala in Sulaymaniyah Organization.
In early 1984, Adnan Shaswar became a member of the Sulaymaniyah Organization of Komala. He continued this dangerous struggle until #17-01-1987#, when he joined the mountain struggle after the arrest of martyr Saifuddin Hesamuddin (he was later executed).
He was in charge of Komala organizations in the central committee, the YNK secretariat and the governor's team.
On #16-04-1987#, #26-02-1988# and #22-03-1988# he was exposed to lethal chemical weapons. The third time he was exposed to it almost killed him. Although it took him a long time to work, he is still being treated in London under specialist supervision.
On 03-10-1990 he arrived in London with wife, son, and daughter.
Since the end of 1993, he has non-stop worked as a committee member, employee, or volunteer in a number of Kurdish and non-Kurdish social and charity organizations.
He has studied constantly, attended many workshops, trainings, or meetings. As a result, he has gained good knowledge and expertise in working with children and young people and has been or is a member of several major British or London regional organisations. In one of his studies, he took first place in London and was nominated for a grand prize.
He had a great hope that one day he would be able to convey these achievements to the children and youth of his nation in Kurdistan. A hope that is unfortunately being prevented from being realized.
He was the initiator of the establishment of the Kurdish Association for New Generation Abroad (KANGA), an international organization that serves Kurdish children and youth in the fields of education, welfare, arts, and entertainment.
In 2005, he was the director of the Kurdish section of the Oral History Belonging to London project, in which he interviewed nine Kurdish figures who had their fingerprints on London's service.
The major project, which included 15 non-English communities, was exhibited for six months at the Museum of London, and won a prestigious award.
He is a member of the Executive Committee of Anfal and Halabja, which successfully organized the conference on the recognition of Anfal and Halabja as genocide in the international community in London on #16-03-2008#.
He was in charge of the committee for two terms and deputy committee of the PUK in Britain for one term.
He currently lives in London and continues to be involved in social and charitable activities and running Kurdish centers and schools.[1]
