Afrin is under the occupation of the Turkish state and its mercenary allies. The Turkish state launched its attacks against Afrin on 20 January 2018 and occupied the city on 18 March. Since then war crimes have been committed systematically in the region.

The Ankara regime and its mercenary allies have carried out every kind of abuse and violations, from murder of citizens, to changes in the demography of the region by resettling mercenary families in the house of local people. Many civilians have been kidnapped and many more have been tortured and murdered.
