For the Syrians the carnage and terrorism™ has been going on since March, 2011

Editor's note: ISIS was the creation of western intelligence agencies (also see How CIA and MI6 Created ISIS) who were used to smash through Syria in the international criminal conspiracy ripping up infrastructure, killing over 400,000 Syrians (western media sources report far less deaths), torturing Syrians, blowing them up in terrorist car bombings, dropping mortar rounds on civilians at protests, assassinating Syrian police and the carnage sill isn't over. Whatever the US military plans are in Syria does anyone seriously think they will be tolerated on any level remaining there? Even more so when the US military bombed six countries including Syria since the beginning of 2024? Some sources report that 1.5 percent of Syria's population have been killed since March, 2011. The US military is being countered in Syria after Russian aircraft hit US-sponsored militants who left the US military garrison in al-Tanf. It is being reported there are around 200 US military personnel at this garrison along with hundreds of militants (proxy terrorists) from a proxy group known as the Syrian Free Army.

Amnesty: US-Backed Kurds in Syria Are Running Torture Prisons Responsible for 'Mass Death'

The US is 'involved in most aspects of the detention system' that was set up in eastern Syria following the defeat of ISIS

US-backed Kurdish authorities in northeast Syria are responsible for torture and "mass death" due to inhumane conditions at detention facilities that were set up after the defeat of ISIS, Amnesty International said in a new report on Wednesday. 

Amnesty said that the US is "involved in most aspects of the detention system," which holds more than 56,000 people, including 30,000 children, 14,500 women, and 11,500 men. 

The Kurdish authorities, officially known as the Autonomous Authorities of the North and East Syria Region, include the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the US's main partner in Syria. The majority of those in custody were detained in 2019 when ISIS lost the last significant piece of territory that it had.

Amnesty said many of the women are victims of human trafficking and forced marriage to ISIS members, and many detained boys and young men are victims of ISIS's child recruitment. The report said other ISIS victims are being held in the facilities, including as many as hundreds of Yazidis.

Amnesty interviewed people who were held in the camps who detailed the torture they experienced, which included beatings, stress positions, and electric shocks. "I was given electric shocks. I was pregnant at the time. The [interrogator] knew, he told me: ‘I am going to force you to have a miscarriage', and that’s what he did," one woman said.

The Amnesty report detailed how the US has funded and supported the detention facilities. "The US-led coalition, with funding from the US Congress, has refurbished existing detention facilities, constructed new ones, and frequently visits them. The US Department of Defense has provided hundreds of millions of dollars to the SDF and affiliated security forces," Amnesty said.
