A 14-year-old girl, named as Sidra Khalil Ibrahim, from Abboudan village which is administratively a part of Afrin city in the northern suburbs of Aleppo governorate, was abducted for conscription by Syrian Democratic Forces personnel on November 6, 2021, from al Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Aleppo city and taken to one of their conscription camps.
SNHR notes that no member of the girl’s family was informed of her arrest and that she was prevented from contacting her family, who are not allowed to visit her. SNHR fears that she will be forced to engage directly and indirectly in military operations, and confirms that around 113 children are still detained for forced conscription in the SDF’s camps.
