According to human rights sources, the Kurdish journalist working for the Syrian news agency Sana, Roshan Manla Muhammad, attempted to commit suicide on Thursday evening, September 18, in the Afrin countryside occupied by Turkey and its Syrian factions, after being subjected to pressure in her work.
The human rights organization Afrin-Syria reported that Roshan Manla Muhammad, a resident of the village of Juwaiq and married in the village of Kawarka to the family of Izzat Berber, tried to commit suicide by taking a dose of pills, which necessitated her transfer to the hospital by the Civil Defense Directorate. She explained that her health situation remains critical.
According to the same sources, the media was pressured by media officials in the administration of the Afrin region, called “Abu Sham” and “Zana Khalil”, during the visit of the Syrian Minister of Culture to the city. She pointed out that “a charge was fabricated against her for insulting the Arabs, before a member of the General Security Service was sent to threaten her and dismiss her from her work.”
The organization that documented the incident indicated that the stressful circumstances faced by the media led it to this attempt.
