France: YPG committed war crimes and crimes against humanity

ARK News… Activist Seve Izouli said that France has rejected asylum requests for some members of the YPG, according to the 1952 Geneva Convention, which stipulates not providing protection to suspects of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Activist Seve Izouli published on her Facebook page a post in which she said that the French authorities had rejected several requests for political asylum for Kurdish youths who worked in the YPG in recent months, based on Article 1, Paragraph F of the 1952 Geneva Convention, which states that international protection shall not be granted to persons suspected of having committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, or practices contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.

Activist Seve added: In one of the decisions, "according to the available information, it appears that the Syrian Kurdish fighters, the leaders of the PYD - YPG, were rehabilitated in the 1990s at the hands of the PKK in the Qandil camps - Iraq and that their activities derive from the Kurdistan Workers' Party."

Thus, the defense of Mr. EG, who received his training in Qandil before being sent to Syria, that the YPG is not on the list of terrorist organizations, that he did not personally participate in the recruitment of minors, and that the Kurdish citizens were not forced to donate money to fund the guerrilla did not convince the court.

Seve added: In another decision, the refusal of asylum was justified by saying that the People's Protection Units (YPG) had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Arab component in northern and eastern Syria, as they destroyed many villages and forced thousands of civilians to leave their homes, accusing them of being affiliated with ISIS or other groups.
