On the eve of the Newroz holiday, the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation state killed 4 citizens from one family in Jandris  district of occupied Afrin.

Human Rights Watch said in a report: "Three brothers and the son of one of them were shot dead, while another relative and two others were wounded."

"These killings come after more than five years of human rights abuses," said Adam Coogle, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.

In its report, the organization indicated that Turkey allowed these mercenaries to mistreat people living in the areas under their control.

The organization pointed out that Turkey, as an occupying power and supporting mercenaries operating in the areas under its control in northern Syria, is obligated to investigate these killings and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.

The organization also called on Turkey to cut off all support for mercenaries involved in repeated or systematic human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian law.

Occupied Afrin, with its districts and villages, is witnessing demonstrations against the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, against the backdrop of a massacre committed by the mercenaries against a family in Jandris  district.
