Turkish border guards kill child from Syria’s Qamishli
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – A child from the city of Qamishli, northeast Syria, died of his wounds in a hospital in Turkey, after he was severely beaten and tortured by Turkish border guards, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Sunday.
“The child was beaten and tortured while trying to enter Turkey through the village of Aziziyah in the countryside of Sere Kaniye, north of Hasakah,” the SOHR added.
The child died earlier today, “after remaining in ICU for about a month as a result of severe injuries,” according to the SOHR.
No further information about the child and his family has been provided by the SOHR.
On September 15, a medical source at the Martyr Khabat Hospital in the city of Derbasiyah said that four young men from the city of Hasakah were severely beaten by Turkish border guards while trying to cross the Syrian-Turkish border.
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.
