375 thousand people forcibly displaced

"375,000 people have been displaced because of the Turkish attacks on North and East Syria and its occupation of the cities of Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî. Turkey is violating human rights by committing crimes against humanity, including torture, arrests, field executions (by shooting), confiscation of private property, bombings and the use of banned chemical weapons against the people of the region. In these areas, where medical teams and journalists are targeted, the security problem has deteriorated even more, and the number of explosions and murders has increased,” according to the report.

The report stated that 2,759 people have been killed since the beginning of the Turkish occupation in the northern regions of Syria. Out of 9,053 arrested locals, only 6,979 have been released, while the whereabouts of the rest remains unknown.

On the other hand, 181 people were tortured to death in prisons. A total of 560 Syrian refugees, including 103 children and 67 women, were killed by gunshots by the Turkish soldiers.
