The murder of Hervin Khalaf
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces accused Turkey-backed fighters of killing a Kurdish politician in an ambush on a road in northern Syria on Saturday, drawing a denial from a Turkey-backed rebel force which said it had not advanced that far.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based organization which reports on the war, said Turkey-backed groups had killed a total of nine civilians on the road, including Hervin Khalaf, secretary general of the Future Syria Party.
Khalaf had been returning from a meeting in Hasaka at the time of the attack in which her driver and an aide were also killed, said Hussein Omar, the Future Syria Party’s coordinator in Europe. Party officials including Khalaf have had contacts with U.S. officials since it was founded in 2018, he said.
…
The SDF, in a statement, said Khalaf’s killing on the highway between Aleppo and Hasaka showed “the Turkish invasion does not differentiate between a soldier, a civilian or a politician”. The SDF statement identified her as party co-chair.
What’s that you were saying @IvankaTrump, about you and your dad lifting up women around the world? This is beyond tragic and on you all.
She was retweeting Kurdistan News 24:
#BREAKING: Kurdish Human right activist & The secretary-general of the Future Syria Party, Ms #Hervin_Khalaf ,has been raped & then stoned to death by #Turkey backed Jihadists near #Hasakah during Turkey’s ethnic cleansing operation against #Kurds in Syria.
The tweet includes a video clip of the murdered Khalaf. It’s as horrible as it sounds. I hope someone is forcing both Trumps to watch it.
Reuters again:
Led by an Arab from Manbij, Khalaf’s party was launched in a ceremony in Raqqa, the city captured by the SDF from Islamic State in 2017. Omar said it has been involved in the autonomous administration for northern Syria.
Omar said party officials including Khalaf, a civil engineer, had met U.S. officials on visits to the region. “The Americans have been in constant contact with this party up until now,” he told Reuters by phone.
Up until the moment Trump told Erdoğan to go right ahead and slaughter them.
They’ll just think it’s some sort of reality show where the actor will get up and walk away. They seem to have no concept that other people are actually living beings. They seem to view all of us as actors in a show to entertain them.
I want all Trump’s to die.Ivanka, Eric Donald 1and2.To the world, I am so sorry our murderous president has invaded your lives.And to the morons that voted for him,rot in hell,!
President Trump, may the horrific execution of Kurd leader Hervin Khalaf, at the hands of the Turks, haunt you for the rest of your life.
Like the murder of Jamal Khashoggi?
Exactly like that, unfortunately. Also like the several children who have died in the custody of Border Patrol.
He won’t. He doesn’t care how many lives he destroys. No one exists for him unless he thinks they are worth sucking up to…
So weird that so many people are appalled now and blame Trump but the very same people turned a blind eye to the terrorists of Islamic Sate when the started the child rapes and genocide of the Yezidis, armed and funded by Obama and Hilary. Entire villages were slaughtered and little girls tured into sex slaves for the muslim terrorists. How do these hypocrites sleep at night?
Some A-Grade history revision right there Rex.
