Two Syrian citizens found near Turkish military base had been shot

Two Syrian citizens who had been shot were discovered next to the base of the Turkish border troops in Ceylanpınar. One of the injured had died, while the other was taken to hospital.

On Monday, two shot Syrian citizens were discovered on a wasteland near the base of the Turkish border troops Sardıçtepe in the northern Kurdish district of  Ceylanpınar. The rescue workers could only determine the death of one of the two people. The other person was seriously injured and taken to the hospital. The deceased was taken to the coroner's office for an autopsy.

As early as 8 August 2022, the body of an approximately thirty-year-old man was discovered near the Ateşoğlu base in Ceylanpınar. Time and again, people who cross the Turkish border as migrants or for supplies and are picked up are robbed, tortured and beaten up by Turkish security forces. Turkish soldiers also carry out extrajudicial executions.

In March, for example, the bodies of two young men were found at the border near Dirbêsiyê. The ANHA news agency reported that the two men were killed by Turkish soldiers. An autopsy at Şehîd Xebat Hospital revealed severe signs of torture that led to his death. According to reports, they tried to cross the Turkish border into Northern Kurdistan and fell into the hands of the military police. After the young men were killed by torture, their bodies were dumped at the border.
