Eight killed, dozens arrested in al-Hol in June
2022-07-05
[Rudaw] The notorious al-Hol camp in northeast Syria (Rojava) saw a total of eight murders over the past month, a conflict monitor reported Sunday, adding that security forces also conducted dozens of arrests in the facility.

Al-Hol camp continues to pose a serious security risk and violence in the camp continues to regularly lead to murders, with the camp seeing a total of eight deaths as a result of seven crimes in June, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported.

The murders in the camp are those of four Syrian women, three unidentified women, and one unidentified man.

Internal security forces (Asayish) in the camp also carried out 16 arrests in the squalid camp in June, attempting to assert control over the vicinity of what SOHR describes as a "mini-state" for the Islamic State
