The crimes carried out by the  Turkish state and its mercenaries against the people and the environment in Afrin continued.

According to the Afrin-Syrian Human Rights Organization, the Turkish state and its mercenaries kidnapped 35 citizens in July. Among them were 4 women. All citizens were taken to an unknown location.

The number of citizens abducted since the beginning of this year has reached 143, 20 of them women.

The Turkish state cut down more than 2,036 olives, pomegranates and other trees in the Afrin Canton in July. It also burned more than 250 olive trees in Sherawa district.

Since the beginning of this year, more than 15,500 trees (olive, walnut, almond, fruit trees) have been cut down. More than a thousand trees were uprooted and 70,000 hectares of wheat and barley fields were burned.

The invaders continue to build colonial buildings in occupied Afrin. According to Afrin Human Rights Organization and the Syrian Human Rights Organization, the Turkish state has built 2 more colonial sites in Shera and Jindirêsê districts to separate the occupied regions from other regions, as well as to change the demographics of the region through Ikhwan associations. 

A Qatari organization has completed the construction of a colonial building in the village of Elkê in Shera district. The building was started at the beginning of 2020.

The Turkish state, with the support of Palestinian Brotherhood organizations, is building new colonial structures, called the Turkish "Hacer El Sedeqe Association", in the Jindirêsê district center to house hundreds of mercenary families.

According to local sources, the Turkish state forcibly relocated more than 2,000 families to the entrance of the village of Hemam in Afrin's Jindirêsê district.

The security problem in occupied Afrin is increasing. There is a daily conflict between the mercenaries over the distribution of goods taken from citizens, the settlement of immigrants and the control of smuggling routes.
