Afrin region | Turkish forces establish new prison for detainees from Afrin

Reliable SOHR sources have confirmed that Turkish forces have established a new prison in Afrin canton in the north-western countryside of Aleppo, where a private building in Maydan Ikbis village of Rajou district in Afrin countryside, near the Syria-Turkey border, has been turned into a prison of the Turkish intelligence.

 

According to SOHR sources, an estimated 100 to 150 detainees arrested earlier by Turkish forces and their proxy factions for various charges were transported to the new prison. However, no accurate information has been reported so far about the detainees’ identities if they are prominent figures whether politicians, military personnel or civilians. It is worth noting that the prison is under Turkey’s direct supervision.
