Human Rights Watch Urges Action for Detainees in Northeast Syria Camps
Human Rights Watch highlights the dire conditions in al-Hol and Roj camps, urging governments to repatriate their nationals amid escalating hostilities in Northeast Syria.
Tens of thousands of people are trapped in life-threatening conditions in al-Hol and Roj camps in northeast Syria amid renewed hostilities, according to Human Rights Watch. This situation has arisen two months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government.
The US government's suspension of foreign aid to nongovernmental organizations operating in these camps is making conditions even more dire. This development risks further destabilization of an already precarious security situation.
Human Rights Watch has called on all governments to urgently repatriate their nationals who are arbitrarily detained in northeast Syria. Until repatriation occurs, all parties involved must take responsibility for the safety and well-being of those in these camps.
