Kurdish force makes appeal after female fighter captured alive by Turkey-backed militia
2019-10-26
[Rudaw] The Kurdish women’s gang in northern Syria issued an urgent plea for international help to save one of their fighters who was maimed and captured alive by Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian militias that have been accused of committing war crimes.

"On October 21 at 21:00, the gangs of the Ottoman Turkish invading state attacked the village of Mishrafa in Ain al-Issa leading to a fight between our forces and the gangs. Cicek Kobane was injured in her leg and fell captive to the gangs of [Ottoman Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan," read a statement from the YPJ, the all-women branch of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northeast Syria.

Video published on Telegram channels linked to the Syrian militias show a krazed killer carrying the captured Kurdish fighter. The bully boyz call her "pig" and say she will be taken to "slaughter."

The YPJ called on the international community to "urgently intervene" to save Cicek Kobane.

"We call on all the women of the world and international human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
organizations to speak up against this brutality of Ottoman Turkish-backed gangs," said the force.

The video was made public at least 24 hours ago. The fate of Cicek Kobane remains unknown.

and its Syrian proxies launched Operation Peace Spring against Kurdish fighters in northern Syria on October 9. The operation has been condemned by officials and leaders around the world.

A US-brokered deal on October 17 brought in a five-day pause in operations and Moscow and Ankara subsequently reached an agreement to take control over the border.

The Kurdish forces accused Turkey of violating the ceasefire. The YPJ said that Kobane was captured after the cessation of hostilities was supposed to be in force.

There is evidence of the Syrian militias desecrating the body of another female Kurdish fighter and killing a senior female politician and human rights advocate.

American officials have said these incidents could be war crimes.
