For unknown reasons | Turkish intelligence arrests two female teachers in Afrin countryside

Aleppo province: SOHR activists have reported that Turkish intelligence has arrested two female teachers in Afrin countryside northwestern of Aleppo.

According to SOHR sources, members of Turkish intelligence have raided the houses of the two teachers this evening, in Barimga village in Mubata district in Afrin countryside, and took them to an unknown destination, without knowing the charges against them.

Today SOHR activists have reported that a military patrol of “al-Sultan Muhammed al-Fateh” faction in “Olive Branch” areas arrested yesterday, three civilians from Ma’mal Ushagi village in Rajo district, on charges of dealing with the former “Autonomous Administration”, and took them to an unknown destination.

Turkish-backed factions detain Afrin civilians, to get benefits and collect ransoms for their release.

These developments came less than a week after ten detainees from the same village were released. They were detained on charges of dealing with the former “Autonomous Administration”, and then they were released on October 14, after the faction had collected a ransom of 2000 T.L for each.

A few hours earlier, SOHR activists reported that the Turkish-backed military police arrested a civilian from Kamarshiyah village in Raju district, while he was installing water meters, for “dealing with the Autonomous Administration during its control of Afrin”.
