Seliva Mahmoud Ahmad, a girl born in 2006, from Minas village near Ein al Arab city in the eastern suburbs of Aleppo governorate, was abducted in the village on March 28, 2022 by Syrian Democratic Forces personnel for conscription, and taken to a recruitment camp.
SNHR notes that the girl’s parents have not been informed of her whereabouts, and she hasn’t been allowed to contact her family, who are also forbidden from visiting her.
We fear she may be forced to participate in direct or indirect military operations, and confirm that around 156 children are still conscripted in Syrian Democratic Forces recruitment camps.
