Turin Court has rejected the request for special surveillance measures against two of the five internationalists who have been in Rojava where they joined the YPG-YPJ and the civil structures of the Rojava revolution and its fight against DAESH.

The decision on the other three internationalists has been posponed pending further investigation. 

Over 300 people, academics, journalists, directors, teachers, activists, had signed the appeal ‘Is fighting DAESH socially dangerous?’ in which they condemned the decision of the Prosecutor to admit the complaint filed by Turin police, asking to imposed special surveillance to the former internationalists, who had joined the YPG and YPJ and fought against DAESH.

The special surveillance measure, if ordered by the Prosecutor, would have included the prohibition of living in the city where the former fighters are currently living, as well as the prohibition of carrying out political activities and demonstrate.
