The KDP, which is keeping Maxmur refugee camp under embargo for about two years, have recently arrested a number of camp residents.

KDP Security Forces, which detained 20 camp residents in Hewlêr [Erbil] last month, have released 4 people, but are still keeping 16 people and no information about their situation could be learned.

The residents of Maxmur camp, who were detained and released, said that they were insulted in prison and put in the ward where ISIS mercenaries were held.

Sharing information on the subject, Martyr Rüstem Cudi (Maxmur) Refugee Camp Foreign Affairs Committee said that 15 of those detained by the KDP security forces were workers and 5 were students. The Committee shared the information that 5 of those arrested were young women, and said that the other people were detained at different workplaces in Hewlêr.
