Hasakah: SDF kills civilian hours after his arrest

Mohammed Jassim al-Hamidi, 26, died under torture hours after being arrested by members of the YPG-led Kurdish forces at a checkpoint in the Tal Tamr countryside, north of Hasakah.

Al-Hamidi, a farmer from the town of Markada, south of the governorate, was arrested by the SDF following a verbal altercation with members of the checkpoint. His family received a short notice of his death, but no details were provided about the cause of death or the circumstances of his arrest.

Witnesses stated that al-Hamidi was the only son in his family.
