“International organizations should take steps”

Lawyer Roşîn Hido, a member of the Human Rights Organization in Afrin, recalled that one of their colleagues was also abducted in Afrin. “Women have faced violence and rights violations.

“The demographic structure of the city has been changed”

Pointing out that a dirty plan is being implemented in Afrin, Roşîn Hido said, “They are trying to clear out the Kurds and civilizations that have lived in the region for centuries. The demographic structure of the city has been changed. They settled 400 people, including Turkmen, Arabs, and Palestinians in the region in a short time.”

“Turkey-backed armed faction Al-Amshat targets Yazidis”

Indicating that “Al-Amshat”, a Turkey-backed armed faction, set up a camp in the Şiyê district of Afrin, Roşîn Hido said, “We have already documented the rights violations committed by them. They work with MIT (Turkish Intelligence Organization). They especially prefer to stay in places where Yazidis live. They have been forcing Yazidis to displacement. They have been torturing them and confiscating their properties. Those who commit these crimes should be prosecuted immediately.”
