Two members of the Kurdish-led autonomous region in northeastern Syria have been found beheaded after being kidnapped, in an attack blamed on the Islamic State group.
The two women, who were found dead in al-Dashisha in the countryside of northeastern Syria’s Hasakah province on Saturday, worked for local institutions within the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES).
Officials in the AANES told Kurdistan24 earlier this week that both were kidnapped from their homes by unknown men. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said they were both found dead hours after being kidnapped.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) has released its tenth annual report for the year 2020, entitled: “The Bleeding Decade”. The report documents the most notable human rights violations at the hands of the parties to the conflict and the controlling forces in Syria during the last year.
The 120-page report provides a record of the landmark key events that took place in Syria in 2020, and sheds light on the most prominent political, military and human rights events that occurred on the Syrian scene in 2020. The report, which stresses the direct responsibility of the state-ruling Syrian regime for committing violations, includes names of Syrian regime officials believed to be involved in committing these violations. The report also provides a record of the most notable human rights violations committed by the parties to the conflict and the controlling forces in Syria in 2020, as well as providing comparisons between the most notable patterns of violations SNHR do
