AFRIN

Several sources in the city of Afrin told ANHA correspondent that a number of young people in al-Mahmudia neighborhood intended to take part in a demonstration against the practices of the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries. However, the mercenaries kidnapped the youths and took them to an unknown destination.

The daily kidnapping operations of the families are repeated with the aim of extorting families and demanding large sums of money to release their relatives.

Since their occupation of Afrin on March 18, the occupation army and its mercenaries have killed dozens of young men and women who have been raped many times.

The Turkish state occupied Afrin after massive air and ground attacks that began on 20 January with the permission of Russia and European and American acceptance.

The Turkish state had transferred many residents of al-Gouta al-Sharqia and Duma in the capital Damascus and settled them in Afrin within the understandings with Russia in the framework of efforts to change the demographic structure of Afrin.

There were clashes between the mercenaries of Ahrar al-Sharqiya and the displaced of al-Gouta, the same sources told ANHA that they did not know the reason of that.

Many of the residents of al-Gouta and other cities in Afrin were subjected to violations after they expressed their desire to leave Afrin where many mercenary gangs are fighting for looting and thieving, causing the kill of many civilians as a result of the rivalry of these gangs.
