Turkish gendarmerie beat to death a man north Syria’s Hasakah
Derbasiyah, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday, a man from the northern countryside of Hasakah, northeast Syria, was beaten to death at the hands of the Turkish border guards (gendarmerie) while trying to enter Turkey.
The 38-year-old, Radwan Numan, arrived at the hospital on Sunday evening with bruises all over his body and had fractures in his feet and hands as a result of being severely beaten, North Press reported Dr. Thamer al-Kikani, director of the Martyr Khabat Hospital in Derbasiyah town.
“Numan, who came from Shaddadi town, south of Hasakah, lost his life of his sever injures a few hours after being arrived in the hospital,” al-Kikani said.
“The man was trying to cross the border near the town of Abu Rasin, before the Turkish border guards arrested him, beat him and threw him to the Syrian side,” a source of the Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) said.
Killings at the hands of the Turkish gendarmerie are occasionally repeated on the border. On October 10, a young man from the village of Karhouk in the countryside of Hasakah, was killed by the Turkish border guards, while trying to cross the border towards Turkey, from the city of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain).
It is noteworthy that Turkey had built a separation wall along its 911 km border to prevent infiltration, which resulted in the continuous deaths and injuries of civilians.
