The statement drew criticism from local activists who called for \u201cmore neutrality and less political bias,\u201d describing the document as \u201ccloser to political conditions than civil work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their response, the rights groups said civil actors carry an increasing responsibility amid Syria\u2019s fragile landscape and ongoing social divisions. \u201cIn such a delicate moment, a civil stance becomes crucial to protecting civil peace, strengthening justice and preventing any slide toward hatred or renewed conflict,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organizations added they had followed Madaniya\u2019s Nov. 27 statement with concern, noting what they described as \u201ccritical issues\u201d that affect the role of a platform representing more than 250 organizations across Syria. They argued the wording used by Madaniya applied inconsistent labels to affected populations, referring to those displaced from Ras al-Ain, Afrin, and Tel Abyad as \u201cforcibly displaced,\u201d while describing those displaced from areas in northeast Syria as \u201cmigrants,\u201d disregarding widely recognized international standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The groups also said the Madaniya report adopted an \u201cimbalanced and selective\u201d approach by focusing at length on alleged violations in AANES-held areas while overlooking broad patterns of abuse in regions controlled by other actors, including the Syrian Transitional Government\u2019s forces and other armed groups. They cited repeated checkpoint closures and identity-based arbitrary arrests in those areas, which they said were ignored in the Madaniya document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of their statement, the rights organizations called on Madaniya to review, withdraw and apologize for its report, urging the group to return to a framework that reflects its stated commitment to independence and objectivity. They also emphasized the need to consider the sensitivity of the context in North and East Syria and avoid contributing, \u201ceven unintentionally,\u201d to fueling hate speech or reinforcing exclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Atoun Jan<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Several human rights organizations in North and East Syria issued on Wednesday a joint statement condemning a recent report by the Syrian civil society organization \u201cMadaniya,\u201d accusing it of misrepresenting the situation in the region and undermining efforts to preserve social stability.
