Except for the kidnapping and random arrests carried out by the pro-Ankara “Syrian National Army” militias against the people of Afrin for more than three and a half years, Turkish intelligence directly supervises the implementation of arbitrary arrests – even if they are repeated against the same person – through its tools from the moot courts and the “civil police” and the military” that it established in the region after its occupation, even if it was for the slightest reasons for the relationship with the former Autonomous Administration, the defense of Kurdish issues, or trumped-up charges, It also creates a personal database of detainees and sentences them to prison terms and fines, and even transfers some of them to Turkey.
