According to the Afrin Human Rights Organization, the Turkish occupation forces killed at least three people, one of whom was a child, in Afrin in May.

It is reported that the child was forced to commit suicide, and one of the other two civilians was tortured to death in a prison.

Turkey has established a terror regime in Afrin since it occupied the city in 2018. Detentions, extortions, looting, tortures, arbitrary arrests, rapes, executions, threats, and forced migrations have become commonplace in the city.

According to human rights organizations, the Turkish forces have killed more than 700 civilians in Afrin since January 2018.
