Report on use of chemical weapons by the Turkish Armed Forces in Northern Syria

Posted on October 30, 2019November 1, 2019 By Centre Kurde Genève

Report on use of chemical weapons by the Turkish Armed Forces in Northern Syria prepared by Dr. Abbas Mansouran* , 28 October 2019 – Dowloand PDF

I came as a medical volunteer from Sweden to help treat those affected by war in Rojava. On October 13th 2019 I joined the medical staff in the main hospital of the Syrian city of Heseke to help the injured and be in close contact with patients. In my time there I have met many patients with severe burns which I would consider abnormal based on my experiences as founder and as the responsible of Hospital Acquired Infection control committee (HAI CC) at the university hospital of Shiraz, Southern Iran. My experiences go back to the first half of the Iran-Iraq war (1980s), including working in the burn’s unit.

NRLS: ISIS’s violations against women and children

Posted on August 8, 2019August 8, 2019 By Centre Kurde Genève

The culture of justifying physical and spiritual murder in the name of faith and religion is nothing but an anomaly that expresses a perverse criminal mentality about the general behavior and morality of human societies. Whatever its motives and justifications, the violation of the right to life and encroachment upon these rights is outside of the realm of humanity itself, and the infringement on the life of dozens of people can only be interpreted as barbaric behavior far from human morals and values.
