On August 5, the General Security of the Transitional Government in Syria kidnapped two Kurdish youths, Basil Salah Kadro from the village of Omer Samo in Sharan sub-district, and Ali Junaidan Ahmed Mohammed from the occupied city of Afrin, according to the Violations Documentation Center in northern Syria.
The arrest took place while they were in the city of Aleppo, and they were in a silver Verna car, according to sources close to their families. The two young men were initially taken to the Al-Aziziyah police station in Aleppo, without any charge or explanation of the reason for the arrest, which raised growing fears of an escalation in the wave of arbitrary arrests against young Kurds.
The Documentation Center said that in light of the escalation of incitement campaigns and the broadcasting of hate speeches suspected of being linked to the transitional government, whether through social media platforms or some mosques affiliated with the Ministry of Awqaf, the risks of systematic targeting of Kurds are increasing, which increases tension and threatens civil peace in various areas.
This escalation raises great concern about the possibility of increasing kidnappings and arrests, especially as official security authorities are increasingly pointing fingers at the Kurds, with senior officials and activists affiliated with the authority launching continuous campaigns against them.
According to the center, this escalation not only poses a direct threat to the personal security of the Kurds, but also carries with it serious risks of deepening the societal rift and pushing towards potential clashes that may increase the state of chaos and devastation in the country.
