| Rape, ethnic cleansing and looting: UN reveals Turkey's crimes in Syria |
| 2020-09-19 |
| [JPost] - Turkish-backed extremists have committed a litany of abuses in northern Syria after Ankara illegally occupied Afrin, Jarabulus, Idlib and Tel Abyad over the last three years. The allegations have gained exposure in recent years and are not part of a UN Human Rights Council biannual report. This is the year with the clearest and most comprehensive evidence of the massive abuses that run contrary to international humanitarian law, reports indicate. "It's a Caliphate. These are the regional sports. It's what we do. Don't judge." The abuses have been directed against women and children, and primarily target minorities such as Yazidis, Kurds and Christians, many of whom have been ethnically-cleansed from the Turkish occupied areas of Syria. A report at Al-Monitor by Amberin Zaman tells of a boy who was kidnapped by the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army in 2019. "While detained, both Syrian National Army members and Turkish-speaking officials dressed in military fatigues were present." |
