A 15-year-old boy, identified as Turki Abdul Rahman from al-Mrouh village to the south of Manbij city in the eastern suburbs of Aleppo, died on May 5, 2023, when he fell into a well in Abu Kahf village to the southwest of Manbij city in eastern Aleppo governorate, as he was trying to flee Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) personnel who caught him carrying a fuel container which he was trying to smuggle from the regime-held al-Tayha area to the areas controlled by the SDF.
The area is under the control of the SDF. The Syrian Network for Human Rights notes that, through this act of killing, the SDF has violated the international human rights law. The perpetrators must be held accountable.
