UN experts say 100 children missing since ISIS jail break in Rojava

experts said on Friday that the fate of 100 children detained in Hasaka prison in northeast Syria (Rojava) is unknown following a jail break by the Islamic State

in January.

ISIS attacked al-Sina’a prison in Hasaka on January 20 with explosive-laden vehicles and other weapons. This led to over a week of intense festivities between ISIS fighters and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Control of the prison was retaken by the SDF with the support of the global coalition against ISIS, with the recaptured prisoners transferred to another prison.

"We are extremely concerned that since the January 2022 attack, the fate and whereabouts of at least 100 of those boys remain unaccounted for which raises serious concerns relating to their right to life," the UN human rights

experts said a statement. "Some of these cases might amount to enforced disappearance, and where children are concerned, States — and de facto authorities — must undertake special measures of protection that reflect their vulnerability."
International rights groups, including Save the Children and Human Rights Watch, have previously said 700 boys had been in the Kurdish-run jail in northeastern Hassakeh province before it was attacked by the Islamic State

group.

Aged 12-18, the detainees included many who had adult relatives inside Ghwayran prison and were transferred from nearby displacement camps housing thousands of children of jihadist fighters.

The independent experts called on the de facto authorities to allow all humanitarian actors to have full and unimpeded access to children still held at Ghwayran.

"Harm to these children must be identified, and those responsible must be held accountable to prevent impunity," the UN experts said.

The IS prison break attempt from Ghwayran triggered a week of festivities inside and around the Kurdish-run facility, leaving hundreds dead, before Kurdish-led forces recaptured the jail.
