Human Rights Organization calls for holding occupying Turkish state accountable for its crimes

On the night of (December 8, 2024), the occupying Turkish state targeted citizens in the village of Mustariha, affiliated with the city of Ain Issa in the Euphrates canton, with drones and various weapons, resulting in a horrific massacre, in which 12 martyrs were killed.

In this context, Avin Juma, a member of the board of the Human Rights Organization in Syria, spoke to ANHA's agency, expressing her strong condemnation of this massacre.

She explained that this is not the first time that the occupying Turkish state and its mercenaries have committed massacres in the North and East of Syria, noting that the vast majority of victims are women and children.

She stressed that the aim of the attacks launched by the occupying Turkish state against civilians and service infrastructure is to empty the region and displace its residents. She added: "The Turkish state violates international laws, especially those violations committed in Afrin, Serekaniye, and Gire Spi."

Avin Juma explained that targeting citizens according to international human rights law is a "war crime." She called on the United Nations and the Independent International Investigation Commission to document the crimes committed by the occupying Turkish state against citizens and open a file to hold it accountable and ensure its trial for these crimes.

At the end of her speech, Avin Juma also called on the UN Security Council to exert pressure on the occupying Turkish state to stop its attacks on Syria.
