According to reliable SOHR sources, members of Al-Sultan Suleiman Shah faction “Al-Amshat” brutally beat and punched a civilian from Kakhira village western of Afrin city after cutting the road in front of his car, where the members insulted the civilian and threatened to kill him if he issued a complaint against them.
