Turkish mercenaries forcibly seize Mediana villages' lands

According to a source from the region, the mercenaries of the "Sham Corps," who are operating under direct command of Turkish intelligence MIT, forcibly seized agricultural land belonging to the inhabitants of the seven villages of Mediana adjacent to the border strip with Turkey in the Rajo district of the occupied canton of Afrin and planted cannabis in it.

The villages of "Gewanda, Dûdê, Kurê, Gazê, Welîkliyê, Sêmala and Mistkûtê" are known as the seven Mediana villages located in the Rajo district of the occupied canton of Afrin.

According to the source, among the inhabitants whose lands were seized were Lqman Sheikho Qanber from the village of Gewanda, whose agricultural land 400 metres from Turkey's border strip was seized by mercenaries, as well as Rajab Qanber, whose agricultural land near the border strip was also seized by mercenaries.

The source explained that there were a number of other villagers whose property had been forcibly seized by mercenaries of the Turkish Occupying State in order to plant cannabis, adding: "Mercenaries exploit the Black River that passes near the village of Gewanda in watering the land they seized and planted with narcotic substances."

The source confirmed that the Sham mercenaries beat Sharif Qanber and his wife from the same village, after refusing to enter the livestock of the mercenaries' families into grape field.

The Turkish Occupation State and its mercenaries occupied Afrin in March 2018, and they are still committing the most heinous crimes, including murder, kidnapping, torture, looting and robbery, and implementing demographic change, in clear violation of international human rights covenants.
