Memorial for victims of Til Rifat massacre
Eight children aged between three and 15 years and two adults were killed in the massacre that targeted displaced people from Afrin in Shehba in December 2019.
The Future Party of Syria is having a memorial erected in memory of the victims of the Til Rifat massacre. On December 2, the Turkish army committed a massacre of refugees from Afrin who had sought protection in Til Rifat town in the northern Syrian canton of Shehba. Eight children between the ages of three and 15 and two adults were killed in an artillery fire. The location of the memorial, a child figure with a dove of peace in his hand, is the Çariyan Street, the site of the incident.
Yasir Ahmad, the district leader of the Syrian Future Party, explained that the memorial is an expression of the innocence of children, but also of the brutality of the Turkish state in the occupied regions of northern Syria. Ahmad hopes that it will be completed in time for the Kurdish New Year on March 21.
