Afrinpost – Special
On Tuesday, the militia of “Military Police” intends to transfer a settler who works as a media activist to the judiciary in the occupied Kurdish Afrin region in northern Syria, on charges related to weakening the revolutionary sentiment and inciting against the Turks, because he published a post on his Facebook page, criticizing the militants of Turkish occupation militias know by the name of the “National Army” putting Turkish flags on their chests during the graduation of a military course, describing them as “slaves”.
And the settler activist, called “Mahmoud Al-Dimashqi”, published on Monday his post on his page saying: “Tomorrow I will appear before the military judiciary in Jenderes, for a post I wrote on Facebook last Ramadan.”
The settler explained the conditions of his detention, saying: “I was lured illegally, arrested, imprisoned for four days, beaten, put weapons in my head, and insulted in the worst terms, and accused of selling Damascus to the Assad regime and weakening the national feeling.” He added: “The Military Police Command published on social media a leaflet confirming that they found on my phone a incitement against the Turkish brothers and blackmailing widows on the pretext of humanitarian works.”
It is noteworthy that the “Military Police” militia arrested at that time Mahmoud Al-Dimashqi for four days, during which he was subjected to torture and threats, against the background of publishing a photo in the month of Ramadan, which showed gunmen wearing shirts bearing the Turkish flag, describing them as “hypocrites and slaves.”
“Mahmoud Dimashqi” said on the twenty-fifth of last May, after his release, that he was subjected to physical and psychological torture during his abduction in the branch of the “Military Police” militia in the city of Afrin, and that the militia gunmen placed a pistol in his head and threatened to kill him.
According to the Violations Documentation Center, Al-Dimashqi talked about the torture he was subjected to through a post on Facebook, in which he explained that he was beaten on the face by the investigator in the Military Police Department, where he was handcuffed, and then they tortured him by placing him in the “wheel” which one of the most severe methods of torture practiced in the branches of the Syrian security services.
Al-Dimashqi added that the head of the investigation department only called him, “dog.” He was threatened with hiding him in prison for a long time if he refused to give in to them by saying: “It seems that you need to be imprisoned for a longer period until you lower your head because your head is still raised.”
He said that the judge also insulted him and accused him of “weakening the national feeling” and that the “military police” blackmailed him and published on social media fabricated accusations against him claiming that he blackmailed the widows.
