2021-12-05
[NPASYRIA] A local committee for documenting violations in the Tel Abyad area, northern Syria, working in the adjacent town of Ain Issa, revealed figures for the outcome of violations it documented in the area during the current year.

Since the beginning of 2021, they have documented 150 killing cases, including 15 children and 25 women, perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkish forces and the affiliated opposition factions, said Fattah Kurdo, co-chair of the Documentation Office in the Euphrates Region (administrative division affiliated with the AANES that includes the areas of Kobani, Raqqa and Tel Abyad).

The figures include those who bit the dust in the frequent bombing by Ottoman Turkish forces and the affiliated factions on the countryside of Tel Abyad and the town of Ain Issa, as well as the deaths in the infightings between the opposition factions in Tel Abyad.

150 people have been arbitrarily arrested by the opposition factions, including 40 women, some of whom were released for ransom, Kurdo told North Press.

He noted to the continued thefts and seizure of property of the natives, as well as the imposition of royalties.
