Farmer killed by Turkish border guards in Idlib
2022-02-22


IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, a farmer was deadly shot by the Turkish border guards (gendarmerie), while working on his farmland in Salqin, northwest of Idlib.

“The Turkish border guards opened fire directly on the agricultural lands near the town of al-Mashrafiya in the Salqin, northwest of Idlib,” North Press reported local sources.

The shooting led to the death of Abdulmuttalib al-Khasara, who was also the Imam of a mosque, at the Bab al-Hawa border hospital after being seriously wounded, according to the sources.

There have been many shooting incidents by Turkish border guards at residents, including women and children, in the areas near the Syrian-Turkish border, north of Idlib.

Activists told North Press that Turkish border guards deliberately fire on residents trying to cross the Syrian-Turkish border.

On February 10, a displaced child was killed by the Turkish border guards, while being near the Badama camp near the town of Ain al-Baida in the Jisr al-Shughur countryside, west of Idlib.
