Returnees arrested by Turkey’s SNA gangs with false accusations

Aiming a demographic change in the occupied areas, the Turkish forces and allied gangs are arresting the civilians who have been displaced by the recent attacks and want to return home now.

The Turkish state’s genocidal campaign seeking to invade North and East Syria together with ISIS and al-Nusra gangs, which Turkey has banded together under the name of “Syrian National Army”, has continued since October 9. Hundreds of civilians were massacred and over 300,000 displaced as a result of the attacks so far. As part of the invaders’ efforts to change the demographic structure in the region, the so-called SNA mercenaries and their families are settled in the homes of the local people who have been forcibly displaced by the indiscriminate attacks with jets, armed unmanned aerial vehicles, tanks, heavy weapons, artilleries, mortars and howitzers.

A displaced resident of Serekaniye (Ras al-Ain), Xedîce Misbah El-Emîn told that an electrical worker was strangled by the gangs in the village of al-Arbain. El-Emîn remarked that the gangs targeted the returnees with false accusations, abducting some of them and asking for ransom from their families to release them.

THREATENED AND FORCIBLY DISPLACED

El-Emîn tells that a group introducing themselves as “Syrian National Army” came their home, adding; “They directed false accusations against my husband. They broke the door and windows of our house claiming that we had weapons inside. They threatened my husband and then started to bomb our house, after which we abandoned our home and left for Heseke. Thus they looted our house, seizing everything we had, even the animal feed.”

The woman tells that she wanted, for a last time, to return home after learning about the seizure of their house. However, she was met with repeated threats of the SNA gangs. She then went back to the Washokani Camp.

El-Emîn calls on international authorities to take action so that Turkish forces and allies leave their lands and the displaced local population are enabled a safe return home.
