The invading Turkish state and its mercenaries cut down 270 trees in Shera and tortured civilians in Sherawa.

The invading Turkish state and its mercenaries cut down 270 olive and fruit trees in the village of Meydankê in the Shera of Afrin.

According to sources from the village of Meydankê, the occupation forces cut down 270 trees owned by the locals.

The village of Meydankê is currently under the occupation of Faylaq al-Sham, Jaysh al-Nuhba, Sultan Murad and Ahrar al-Sham mercenary groups. Last year, the Sultan Murad group cut down more than 15,000 olive trees near Lake Meydankê.

According to sources from Afrin Canton, the Faylaq al-Sham group inflicted violence on a woman and her husband in the Birç Heyder village of the Sherawa district.

Hundreds of people have been murdered and hundreds of thousands of others have been displaced in Afrin since it was occupied by the Turkish state and allied mercenary jihadists in March 2018 in violation of international law. Nearly 500 thousand foreigners and families of mercenaries have been settled in the city in their place.
