afrinpost correspondent said that the Islamic militias affiliated with the Turkish occupation prevent the remaining Kurds in the occupied Afrin region in northern Syria from celebrating birthdays under penalty of imprisonment and a financial fine, under the pretext that these holidays belong to the Christians.
In the details, “Jaish al-Nukhbah/ the Elite Army” militia informed, on Thursday 12/31/2020, the people of the villages under its control in Mobata / Maabatli district (Shekhotka – Amara – Gemruk) not to hold any manifestation of celebrating the New Year holidays, and threatened them with imprisonment and payment of one thousand Turkish lira as a fine for those who violate the instructions of the militia in this regard.
While the gunmen and their settler families celebrate New Year’s eve in Afrin, they resort to camouflage, as they hold parties under the name “the birthday of a family member – or the engagement party of one of them.” According to the reporter.
