Turkey deports 6 Syrians to Turkish-occupied areas
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – Turkish authorities deported on Tuesday six Syrians, including two ladies, to Syria through the Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) border crossing north of Hasakah Governorate, northeast Syria.
An exclusive source told North Press that the Turkish authorities deported six Syrians, including two ladies, through the Sere Kaniye border crossing, where they were arrested by the Turkish-backed Military Police faction of the Syrian National Army (SNA) for verifying their data.
The source added that after arresting the deported Syrians, the Military Police demand they or their families pay ransoms in turn for their release, or they would remain under arrest for “security” allegations.
It noted that since June 21, 15 Syrians and Iraqis, deported from Turkey, have been detained in a detention of the Military Police in Sere Kaniye in order to pressure their families to pay ransoms, some of which estimated at $7,000, especially for the Iraqis.
Though obtaining Turkish temporary protection ID cards (Kilmlik), Turkish authorities have deported 47 Syrians and Iraqis since early July through gates in Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) and Tel Abyad.
On July 2, the Turkish authorities deported 16 people, including four Iraqis, to Syria through the Ras al-Ain border crossing, marking the second deportation of Syrians in July.
