The families of 4 young men arrested by the Turkish security services in Istanbul on May 15, 2020, appealed the Violations Documentation Center in northern Syria.
The center pointed out that human rights organizations are pressing the Turkish authorities to release the four young men who were arrested following a denunciation as a result of family disputes, stressing that they live in Turkey since June 2012 in a legal way, and they possess the Kimlik card issued by the Turkish government.
The four young men are: Ghalib Muhammad Bakr (37 years old), Adnan Fawzi Suleiman (20 years old), Mustafa Muhammad Osu (22 years old), Mustafa Ahmed Wisi (25 years old), and they are born in the village of “Ashakah / Ashkan Gharbi” affiliated to Jenderes district in Afrin.
The Turkish occupation authorities hand over the people of Afrin who are arrested on their lands, if they do not carry the Kimilk cards, to the “Al-Sham Liberation” organization through the “Bab Al Hawa” crossing point in Idlib, and the organization usually communicates with their families, if they are Kurds, and they request a financial ransom that may reach to 20 thousand dollars, or they are executed.
Previously, two young men were executed in this way, as the “Jabhat al-Nusra”, which is listed in the list of terrorist organizations, executed the Kurdish youth, “Battal Hassan Ali” / 24 years old, on April 29th, and he is a resident of the village of Ma’mla / Raju, in a prison in the city of Darat Azza six months after his deportation by the Turkish authorities from its territory.
Al-Nusra had carried out a similar execution in mid-December 2019, when it carried out the death sentence against a young Kurdish man who had been detained for more than a year, when they executed the young “Muhammad Hussein Bakr” a residents of Dumliya village of the “Mobata” district in the occupied Kurdish region of Afrin , who was arrested by the organization at the Bab Al-Hawa border crossing point after being deported by the Turkish authorities.
The attempts of the family of the martyr “Muhammad Bakr” were repeated as did the efforts of the family of the martyr “Battal Ali” in order to release him, but the leaders of “Jabhat al-Nusra” requested large amounts of money, which his family was unable to provide. Later, the family received a call on the twelfth of December 2019, from their son informs them that the “Al-Nusra” will execute him, then the security branch sent his photos to his family after he was killed, where they buried him in Idlib and deprived his family even of his body.
