The file of Kurds’ detainees to where?

Nov 29 2018

ARK News: Since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, through the exit of demonstrations in all areas of Kurdistan, Syria, and in conjunction with the changes and developments on the Syrian arena in general and Kurdish in particular, the activity of arresting strugglers, activists, and Kurdish citizens has been resumed on the Syrian territory.

In the Syrian capital, Damascus, since the beginning of the revolution so far dozens have been arrested and may also the number of Kurdish citizens reached 100 who lived in Damascus neighborhoods and work to earn their living, and the dilemma is that the regime does not reveal their fate, and the fate of these detainees remains unknown for the moment, along with other detainees of Kurds before the Syrian revolution.

With the coming of Da’esh terrorists to areas of Kurdistan Syria, hundreds of Kurds civilians were kidnapped, especially in the city of Raqqa and its rural, Kobane, Gire Spi and other areas in Hasakah, and despite the liberation of those areas from Da’esh and processes of releasing of hundreds of Da’esh terrorists , but those processes did not have an exchange with the kidnapped of Kurds, one such process took place in the countryside of Deir al-Zour by the Syrian Democratic Forces affiliated with the Democratic Unionist Party (PYD), where those forces swapped prisoners of Da’esh with kidnapped civilians from the Syrian province of Swaida .

In the areas of Kurdistan, Syria, especially after the handing over of part of those areas by the Syrian regime to the PYD, this Party also started following the example of the Syrian regime and Da’esh for the arrest Kurdish civilians, activists, strugglers and kidnapping them, and to date, the fate of many of them is still unknown, including a member of the Political Bureau of the Kurdistan Democratic Party-Syria, Bahzad Dorsin, youth activist Fuad Ibrahim, Amir Hamed, lawyer Idrees Alo, and others.

In the areas entered by the pro-Turkish-backed armed groups as well, hundreds of Kurdish civilians were arrested on false various pretexts, including dealing with PYD, although many of these abductees have no dealings with PYD, including elderly people and young people, as well as demanding large financial ransoms for their release.

In conjunction with all those cases of kidnapping, arrest and the unknown fate, negotiations and international meetings continue in Geneva, Astana and elsewhere, that the file of Kurdish detainees must also be a key part of the negotiations.

From time to time we hear that the Syrian regime released a large number of detainees as a result of the negotiations under the auspices of the guarantor states, but these detainees are often not Kurds.

In turn, all civil and political parties in Kurdistan are required to work hard to document Kurdish detainees and prepare lists of their names and submit them to the courts and international bodies and to include them in the file of the Syrian negotiations.
