Turkish authorities have forcibly deported more than 200 Syrians to northern countryside of Aleppo during past 48 hours, according to SOHR.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that Turkish authorities have forcibly deported 215 Syrians through the crossings in “Euphrates Shield” areas in the northern countryside of Aleppo during the past 48 hours.
According to the observatory, 200 Syrians were transported to the Bab Al-Salamah crossing by 4 buses, while 13 Syrians were transferred to Jarablus border crossing. The authorities took fingerprints and eye scans of the Syrians to ensure that they would not return to their territory. They also forced them to put their fingerprints on papers proving their voluntary return to Syria, SOHR stated.
“Turkish authorities continue to forcibly deport Syrians through the land crossings with areas controlled by the Turkish-backed factions in “Peace Spring” and “Euphrates Shield” areas, as well as Bab Al-Hawa crossing north of Idlib, which links Turkey with HTS-held areas,” the observatory reported.
