Two male children born in 2007, Ojelan Rajab Misto and Riyad Muhammad Misto from Kerda Ahmad Eisha village near Ein Arab city in the eastern suburbs of Aleppo governorate, were conscripted by personnel from the Revolutionary Youth (Joanne Schurchkar) group affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces in a village in eastern Aleppo governorate, and both were sent to training camps on August 16, 2022.
SNHR notes that the children’s parents have not been informed of their recruitment, and the boys haven’t been allowed to contact their families, who are also forbidden from visiting them. We fear they may be placed directly or indirectly in military operations.
SNHR confirms that around 197 children are still conscripted in Syrian Democratic Forces recruitment camps.
