She recounts mercenaries' practices in Afrin after her departure

ROZANA DADO / ALEPPO

After the occupation of Afrin, the people's lives turned into a nightmare, especially women, where the mercenaries are practicing the most heinous human crimes.

The mother (AH) have five young women and seven young men from the villages of Maidana district in Rajo district of Afrin canton, she withstand in front of the bombing of the Turkish occupation guns and planes

After being arrested by the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries, she was enforced to leave her village

"In the middle of February, one day in the early hours of the morning, I was sitting with my husband and seven women were in our house, we heard the sound of gunfire. I realized that the mercenaries entered the village to break into the village, then they entered our house and screamed, where are the PKK?. Where is the weapon and where is the money?. They were firing randomly to intimidate us.

I said "I did not have any weapons. One of them kicked me and hit me on the ground. They searched the rest of the women, stole all their money, stole the gold with them and locked us in the bathroom for several hours."

They threatened to kill us and kidnapped young women

She said that they were not only robbing and looting but rather kidnapping a young woman who was among the seven women who were arrested by mercenaries. They said to us then "she has to go with us, otherwise your fate would be death,"

Miraculously, we were able to catch up with them and save the young woman whom they kidnapped, so that the mercenaries would come back and threaten us again if we did not tell them where the young women were.

"Before I left Afrin I saw many kidnappings and young women are enforced to marry mercenaries,"

(AH) added: "On the third day of occupation, the mercenaries took all the people to the village school, we were watching the looting and theft of our property with our own eyes, then took us to the mosque of the village of Midan Akbes there they investigated with me and said that I deal with the terrorists, we stayed there for 20 days and then they turned us into one of the police station in the border villages of Turkey."

After the investigation, they took me back to my village and my house, where there were no furniture left. They had stolen all of it 

She appealed to all the international powers to exit the occupied army from Afrin.
