The Syrian Observatory For Human Rights

After international tours and claims by the Director of the Syrian Observatory, Coalition Forces announce their approval to establish international courts east of Euphrates for the trials of the foreign ISIS members

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored the agreement of the International Coalition Forces on the request to establish special international courts on the grounds of the east Euphrates area, for the trials of thousands of the “Islamic State” Organization members of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities, in the east Euphrates area which is controlled by the Syria Democratic Forces supported by the International Coalition, and to enforce the sentences against them, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights during its tour in Germany on the 20th and 21st of March 2019, and its meeting on the first day with the German Foreign Ministry and the German Parliament; requested the establishment of an independent court of an international character, within the Syria Democratic Forces’ controlled areas, to prosecute members of the Organization of Syrian nationality and the non-Syrian nationalities, in addition to seeking solutions to the case of tens of thousands of families of ISIS members in camps at the northeast of Syria, also the director of the Syrian Observatory in his trip to Germany asserted that thousands of children and women of families of the “Islamic State” Organization’ members of Arab, Western, and Asian nationalities, must be returned to their countries, putting members of the Organization to trials, and then returning them to their countries to serve their sentences, because letting the issue of the “Islamic State” Organization without a trial will deliver the wrong message to the Syrian regime and all killers, also the Syrian Observatory repeatedly demanded the international parties and the United Nations and through television interviews, interviews, and dialogues to work to solve the problem of the time bomb in the east Euphrates area, of the presence of thousands of fighters of non-Syrian nationalities without a trial, which will pose a threat to the area.

Director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on the second day of his tour, held a press conference by an invitation from the (Society for Threatened Peoples International), during which he met with German media, and the director of the Syrian Observatory Rami Abdulrahman had a seminar to talk about the Syrian situation and about the Syrian revolution, and how the demands of the Syrian people was establishing a democratic state, but regional and other international parties have transformed the issue into a civil war, also “jihadi” groups have transformed it into a religious and sectarian war, and the director of the Syrian Observatory stressed that the entry of regional and international parties in the Syrian file; turned the case from an issue of an issue of people who called for democracy to an issue of a Syrian internal war, he added at the symposium held at the International Book Fair that the regime of Bashar al-Assad and every criminal on Syrian territory; should not go unpunished, he also had a dialogue Seminar on the evening of the same day with Kurd and Arab Syrian expatriates, in addition to Germans in the German capital Berlin.

The Syrian Observatory published recently that one of the most prominent issues left by presence of the “Islamic State” Organization continues to sort out its effects within the Syrian territory, which made a major dilemma, at a time when the international community has abandoned the issue, the resolution, or assisting in it, and at the same time, the European countries and other countries are the ones who made this dilemma by rejecting and preventing the solution, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored most of the Arab and European countries continue to refuse to receive members of the “Islamic State” Organization and their families, who are at the prisons of the Syria Democratic Forces, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented 6380 children and women of the “Islamic State” Organization, they are: 4475 children and 1905 women of 46 different nationalities, and at the same time there are more than 1800 fighters of 31 nationalities of Europe and the west and fighters with European nationalities descended from the north of Africa, as well as fighters from north Africa all of whom are at the prisons of the Syria Democratic Forces, whose countries refuse to receive and return them, while there are thousands of members of central Asian nationalities, Iraqi nationality, and various Arab nationalities, are also present in the prisons, jails, and detention centers of the Syria Democratic Forces.

The continued refusal of their return by most of the countries warns about a major alarming dilemma, of which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights warned, and despite the transfer of tens of members of the “Islamic State” Organization of different nationalities from east Euphrates and handing them over to the Iraqi government in an unannounced manner, following the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights exposed the extradition process, which embarrassed those in charge of the extradition process, and at the same time, the Russian Federation on several occasions received families of women and children of the “Islamic State” Organization, and they were officially returned to Russia after handing over the children via the body of external relations of the democratic self-administration, and although the Syria Democratic Forces have talked to the in charge authority in their countries; so far they have refused to receive these displaced people, whose problem has shifted from joining the ranks of the Organization to being people without a homeland, where the Syria Democratic Forces have in the guarded camps managed by them and in detention centers and prisons; tens of thousands of families of the “Islamic State” Organization, of Syrian nationalities of children and women of the Organization, and the reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that the solution for the Syrians lies in the return of those who wish to their villages and towns from which they came out, or towards regime forces’-controlled areas, along with taking full responsibility for such a decision in case they exit.

This rejection process has created resentment among many families, who asserted that they are present in these camps as a result of their countries’ refusal to accept their return, although they have been lured either by their husbands or by people who have been recruited into the ranks of the “Islamic State” in order to recruit youth, women, and men in the ranks of the Organization, and then transported to the Syrian territory through the Turkish or Iraqi territory. it is worth mention that the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented the killing of tens of thousands of foreign fighters in the ranks of the “Islamic State” Organization and the “jihadi” and Islamic Organizations, during clashes against the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them, or against the Syria Democratic Forces and YPG before them, or during clashes against rebel and Islamic factions and the Turkish Forces in various Syrian provinces, while others have previously been able to return to their countries or move to other areas outside of areas of control of the organizations they have been involved with, whether in combat, services, logistics, or “Sharia”.

the final long scene of the existence of ISIS east of Euphrates almost ended, the future scenarios follow in front of the world, which does not care to the future of the area. And while the rest of ISIS members and leaders are waiting to surrender or to be eliminated if they continue to refuse to surrender, many hypotheses and questions still pose themselves on the scene, with the American insistence on leaving the east of Euphrates area and withdrawing their military forces from it, the fate is still unknown for ISIS members, who are more thousands of members and leaders in the prisons and jails of the Syria Democratic Forces, of Syrian, Arab, regional, Moroccan, Asian, and western nationalities, where reliable sources told the Syrian Observatory that the refusal of their countries to take them or receive them puts the case in a closed box, where the Syria Democratic Forces has no ability to issue execution rules or lengthy sentences, at a time where there is no enough prisons equipped to serve the penalties, the Syrian Observatory learned that some of those who fled the enclave of the organization, and while being transported to Al-Omar Oilfield and before being sorted out into camps, pay large sums of money in order to get out to areas such as Al-Busayrah, Theban and Gharanij, where sums of money exceed $ 10,000 are paid for fear of being arrested when they reach the camps into which they are sorted out, and the sources suggested that in most cases, ISIS members and families of ISIS members are the ones who pay such sums of money, where they pay them to the parties that are responsible for the transport to the camps from Al-Omar Oilfield, the reliable sources also confirmed that a batch of those who were in the enclave of the organization at the eastern banks of the river, have fled towards the west of the Euphrates River, and they had millions of US dollars.

The Syrian Observatory also called on the European countries and the rest of countries of the world, who there are members of the “Islamic State” Organization of their nationalities, to reclaim them and return them to their countries, subject them to trials, psychological, and intellectual processes, and in case they continue to refrain from implementing this option, the countries of the world should join in supporting the Syria Democratic Forces in the process of not turning these people into time-bombs, which may explode at any moment based on orders or coordination with regional, international, and even local parties, and we call for the establishment of special courts that will bring justice and held criminals accountable for what they have done to the Syrian people of killing, looting, and displacing, and not contributing to creating the right climate for the return of the “Islamic State” Organization by refraining from finding a solution to the big problem that threatens the east Euphrates area, as Turkish lurks to spread chaos in the area.
