Sources from the village of Basufane in Afrin’s Sherawa district report that Faylaq al-Sham gangs are forcing the Yazidi people in the village to send their children to mosque and attend religious lessons.

According to the sources, Yazidi citizens A.S. ve F. S. were tortured by the gangs because they refused to obey this imposition.

According to sources from Kaxira village of Mabata district, Furqat al-Hamzat gangs under the command of Abu Amsha have turned the village school into a center where religious lessons are lectured.
