Human Rights Organization calls for international action to stop Turkish crimes in North-East Syria

The Human Rights Organization in the Euphrates Region condemned the international silence on the crimes committed by the Turkish state and called for urgent international intervention to stop the attacks and crimes in the region.

The Human Rights Organization in the Euphrates Region of North-East Syria released a statement condemning the Turkish drone attack that targeted a vehicle belonging to the women's channel JIN TV on the road between Qamişlo and Amûde on 23 August. The targeted attack killed the driver, journalist Necimedîn Feysel Hec Sînan, and injured a Jin TV correspondent, Delila Ağît.

The statement pointed out that the targeted attack on journalists was part of the systematic policy against North-East Syria and aimed to obstruct the documentation of Turkish crimes and massacres in the region and to prevent the free press from conveying the truth to the public.

The organization called for respect for human rights, journalists’ right to report and protection of journalists and media employees.

The Human Rights Organization in Euphrates Region condemned the international silence on the increasingly ongoing crimes committed by the Turkish state in the region and called for urgent international intervention to stop the attacks and crimes against people in North-East Syria.
