Raqqa operation and human rights concerns

(Beirut) – The United States-led coalition, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and other local armed groups should make protecting civilians and respect for human rights a priority in the offensive to retake Raqqa from the Islamic State (also known as ISIS), Human Rights Watch said today. The offensive was announced on June 6, 2017.



Key human rights priorities for anti-ISIS forces should include: taking all feasible precautions to avoid civilian casualties and investigating alleged unlawful strikes; ensuring that no child soldiers participate in the military operation; respecting detainee rights; providing safe passage to fleeing civilians and providing sufficient support to displaced people; and increasing efforts to survey and clear landmines and explosive remnants of war.

 تشريد قسري لأربعة آلاف شخص من سكان قرية السلحبية الشرقية بريف الرقة الغربي

 قالت الشبكة السورية لحقوق الإنسان إن أربعة آلاف مدني من قرية السلحبية الشرقية بريف الرقة الغربي شُردوا قسرا، وأضافت أن الأهالي عالقون في الحقول المحيطة بالقرية في ظروف تفتقد إلى أبسط مقومات الحياة.


ونقلت الشبكة شهادات عن الأهالي قالوا فيها إن ما تسمي "قوات سوريا الديمقراطية" تمنعهم من العودة تحت التهديد باستخدام الرصاص بشكل مباشر، وإنها تتذرع بوجود "ضرورة عسكرية".
