Two more people abducted in Turkish occupied Afrin

The Turkish forces and allied mercenaries continue committing crimes in the territories they have invaded in North-East Syria in violation of international law.

Two local people have been abducted by the so-called “Military Police” formed by the Turkish state in the regions it has occupied in North-East Syria.

Local sources report that the “Military Police” attacked the village of Lower Hajika in Rajo district and kidnapped two residents. Ehmed Reşid (50) and Hesen Beyram (45) were taken to an unknown location and their aftermath remains unknown.

The Turkish state built a regime of terror in the regions it occupied in North-East Syria, especially in Afrin, which has been under Turkish invasion since March 2018. In Afrin, which was turned into a scene of systematic war crimes, kidnapping, execution, torture, looting and forced displacement became daily routines.

According to human rights defenders, the Turkish state has killed at least 700 civilians in the last 4 years and kidnapped nearly 8,500 people in Afrin. Almost half of the kidnapped civilians are still unaccounted for.
