Elderly Kurdish Woman Speaks About Home Raid and Daughter's Abduction in Kobani: Assault and Violations by Self-Administration Forces
A recorded video circulated on social media showing an elderly Kurdish woman from the city of Kobani/Ain Al-Arab, recounting the details of her home raid at night by security personnel affiliated with the "Self-Administration." In the video, the woman speaks bitterly about the assault she and her children were subjected to, while her daughter was taken to an unknown location, with her whereabouts still unknown.
The woman issued an urgent plea to the relevant authorities, calling for the return of her daughter. She confirmed that security personnel confiscated her jewelry (gold) and her mobile phone, considering these actions a blatant violation of her rights and privacy.
During her speech, she expressed deep concern for her daughter's safety and her neglect of legal rights. She called for an end to arbitrary arrests and respect for civilians' rights. She warned that the incident's aftermath raises fears of escalating violations in the region amid widespread discontent among civil society and human rights advocates.
This incident occurs amid increasing crises and protests against the measures taken by the Self-Administration forces, which face broad criticism from the local population over alleged targeting of civilians and illegal detentions.
