It has been 15 months since the Turkish state and its allied gangs invaded Afrin. The invaders have been violating international law and are engaged in inhumane practices against the civilians, the natural environment and the historic sites to achieve an ethnic cleansing in Afrin. Civil society organizations, political parties and legal bodies in the region document the crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by the invading Turkish state and their allied gangs in Afrin to be sent to human rights and legal organizations.

ABDUCTIONS

Thousands of civilians have been abducted in the city to date and most of them are still not accounted for. Abductions are still a daily occurrence in Afrin.

HOMES MARKED IN BLACK

The Amshad gang group confiscated homes in the Shiye district’s villages and is marking the homes in black so nobody will approach them.

TAXING WHEAT AND BARLEY

The Turkish state and their allied gangs have also been taxing the wheat and lentil harvest in Afrin’s villages. The gang group Suleiman Shah is stopping the Qermitliq villagers from watering their fields with the water from the Erende mountain. The gangs only allow the irrigation of confiscated fields.

The Suleiman Shah gang group has trampled ethical limits and have been holding the family of Hisen Xoce for ransom, claiming that the man who used to live in the Cegla village and lost his life 3 months ago in Shehba was a member of the village commune.
