The Human Rights Organization in Afrin: During the past two days, a warplane “believed to be Russian” targeted a site of armed militias loyal to the Turkish occupation government near the city of Izaz, without receiving information about the material damage to the site or the number of dead, while the Turkish artillery responded with artillery shelling indiscriminately on the areas inhabited by the people of Afrin, who were displaced and forcibly detained, in the area of Shahba and the surrounding villages and some villages of Sherawa, instead of bombing the military sites under the control of the Syrian regime in the towns of Nubil and Zahra.
On the other hand, the Syrian regime has treated Kurdish civilians in the areas under its control as hostages and human shields, instead of helping them and transporting them to safe areas. Rather, it imposed an economic blockade and prevented them from going out to fulfill their commercial needs and obtaining foodstuffs from the towns of Nubil and Zahra (No It must be recalled that the armed militias besieged the towns of Nubil and Zahra during the past years 2016-2017 and how the de facto authority represented by the PYD Administration helped them and the smuggling of food and fuel to the two towns via Barade village, and the people of Afrin region are prohibited from entering the city of Aleppo.
