| The [historic] ‘overt practices of repression’ on Kurds by Syrian security forces: report |
| 2019-05-25 |
| [Rudaw] Syrian security forces exercised a systematic crackdown on "nationalistic" Kurdish activities and the "treachery" of Kurdish cultural expression prior to and during the ongoing war in Syria, according to the Washington-based Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC). The CJAC report, entitled ’Walls Have Ears: An Analysis of Classified Syrian Security Sector Documents’, is the result of a pilot analysis of documents from abandoned Syrian government offices and was published last month. The documents were secured by the SJAC when they entered abandoned facilities in Tabqa and Raqqa in 2013 and in Idlib in 2015, all places with sizeable Kurdish minorities. They claim in the report that the facilities were open and unprotected upon entry. |
