(Zaman Al Was-Special)- Kurdish Peoples’ Protection Units (PYD) placed on one of the strongest trucks in the world dozens of rebel fighters' bodies on Thursday, exhibiting them in the streets of the northern city of Efrin near Aleppo, Such a blatant abuse of human rights that was highly rebuked and condemned by Arabs and Kurds on social media.
YPG's Volvo H12 truck that appeared in the footage posted online is one of the most important models produced by Swedish Volvo, pioneer in producing cars especially trucks. Activists asked if the company has ever imagined the truck will be used to carry and exhibit human bodies?

Nobody knows how the Volvo truck used to transport heavy vehicles arrived at the hands of the PYD militia. Was it individually bought or was it offered by the United States or a European country as a gift to the PYD? Especially that Washington has announced publicly more than once its support and close cooperation wıth the militia which represents the Syrian version of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK)
Nobody knows who paid the bill of the truck whose price is over 100 thousand dollars especially that FH is one of the strongest and most expensive types of produced Volvo vehicles.
Nobody knows for certain if Volvo Company knew of the “latest use” of the truck and if the party who offered the truck to the militia knew if it offered it to the wrong people or if this pretext is only present in the face of those who fight Bashar al-Assad and his supporters.
Nobody knows anything; but what we know from the footage is that Volvo FH12 painted in military color carried nearly 50 bodies which Zaman al-Wasl counted. The bodies were placed on the rear of the long truck while pressing ears beating horns. It seems the decision makers in world capitals did not hear the horns or they need someone to translate it for them as they will need a long time to “translate” the long footage and investigate the party which committed the heinous act. After 3 years from the Chemical Massacre in East Ghouta of Damascus, decision makers in world capitals are still searching for the one who committed the crime so how would they know who committed a crime that happened yesterday?
The ones silent are many including the regime which did not hasten to produce its usual mantra that this is the moderate opposition supported by Washington and these are their crimes especially there is the least doubt of Washington support for PYD militia so what is the secret behind the regime silence over this?
-We reciprocate kindness-
Volvo is considered the second heavy vehicles producer around the world.
Volvo produced different types of trucks and the most prominent of these is FH which was marketed starting in 1993 and around 400 thousand trucks were sold during 10 years only.
Volvo Company consider its FH trucks is the best it produced during 90 years and this is not only the evaluation of the company, the FH truck type was awarded the year truck award twice in 1994 and 2000.
Nahas paved the way for Volvo in Syria and it controlled 50 percent of the truck market. Volvo was in the first rank in number of imported trucks to Syria during many years as the company issued an official statement at the start of 2010 celebrating a senior Volvo delegate visit to Syria.
Syrian Businessman Saeb Nahas the exclusive agency of the Volvo Company in Syria in 1976.
