Thats not the first time that the mercenaries from Turkey terrorises the population under the occupied region of Afrin. Since 2018, the turkish state has created a regime of terror and mercenaries in all the regions it has occupied, especially in Afrin, which has been occupied since March 2018. Crimes such as kidnapping, execution, torture, looting, forced abduction have become daily in the city, which has systematically turned into a war crimes site.
The Turkish-backed groups have been widely accused of human rights violations against Afrin’s locals, including kidnap, looting, and extortion. In August 2018, Amnesty International reported that “Afrin residents are enduring widespread human rights violations, mostly at the hands of Syrian armed groups equipped and armed by Turkey.”
In its annual report for 2019, Amnesty documented a “wide range of abuses” against Afrin’s civilians at the hands of Turkish-backed groups, including the arbitrary detention of more than 50 locals.
