A girl from Sheitka village of Afrin city in northern Aleppo governorate, born in 2006, Hamida Fawzi Muhammad, was abducted by the Syrian Democratic Forces affiliated Revolutionary Youth (Joanne Schurchkar) personnel, inside one of the Children’s Culture and Art Activities Office “Folklore Dance and Theatre” in al Sheikh Maqsood neighborhood in Aleppo city for conscription on August 4, 2022, and taken to a recruitment center.
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 directly or indirectly in military operations, and confirm that around 197 children are still conscripted in Syrian Democratic Forces recruitment camps.
