Afrin… Al-Amshat gunmen are tightening their grip on those returning to their hometown of Afrin

ARK News… Al-Amshat gunmen in Afrin, Syrian Kurdistan, imposed large sums of money on Kurdish citizens those returning to their villages.

A private source told ARK today, April 25: The militants imposed 10,000 dollars on the Kurdish citizen Mustafa Bilal Bilal in the Shiye town in exchange for handing over his house, knowing that he recently returned from Aleppo to his hometown.

The source, who preferred to remain anonymous, added: The gunmen forced the Kurdish citizen, Fakhri Ahmed Moscow, who was forcefully deported from Turkey to his village, Chaqala Fawqani, to pay 3,000 dollars.

Earlier, al-Amshat gunmen kidnapped the two sisters, Nazliya Muhammad Hamoud (18 years old) and Narin Muhammad Hamoud (20 years old) in the village of “Kurzêlê” Gumi in the countryside of Afrin city. The two girls recently returned from Aleppo, and they have special needs (they suffer from autism).

Afrin and its environs and villages witnessed an unprecedented return of Kurdish families, but they are subjected to harassment, arrests and seizure. The last victim was the elderly Kurdish woman, Malak Ibo. She was 62 years old. She died by force in her home, which was seized by the militants of the “Siqour al-Shamal”, in the village of Ali Jaro in the Bilbile town. After her return to her village, she tried repeatedly to regain her home, but she fell on deaf ears, which made her health get worse, and she died of sadness and oppression over the misery of her life on November 7.
