Man killed under torture in Syria’s Afrin
2022-02-03


ALEPPO NORTHERN COUNTRYSIDE, Syria (North Press) – One man died under torture in a jail run by the Turkish-backed Sultan Shah Suleiman faction in Afrin region in Aleppo northern countryside, north Syria.

Yesterday, Rezan Khalil from Sheilh Hadid district, northwest of Afrin died because he was beaten on his head which led to hemorrhage of the brain, a local source told North Press.

Sultan Shah Suleiman faction had arrested Khalil before but released him after his family paid a ransom. Then, members of the faction arrested him for the second time.

The Turkish-backed Syrian opposition factions controlled Afrin in March 2018.

The Turkish-backed Syrian factions continue arresting, kidnapping and intimidating residents of Afrin with the aim to extort ransom for their release.
