As part of its ongoing efforts to uncover the circumstances surrounding the Ayn al-Arab (Kobani) massacre in January 2026, Verify publishes the full account of the prison events and the subsequent field executions, based on an exclusive and detailed testimony from one of the few survivors, referred to by a pseudonym for security reasons. The testimony documents a precise sequence of events, beginning with prisoner protests following unimplemented amnesty claims, and ending with live fire, mass detention, field screening, and executions. The survivor confirms that the victims were civilians serving limited sentences, and that the violence went beyond preventing escape, taking on an explicitly retaliatory and discriminatory character. The account also reveals cases of enforced disappearance and estimates the total number of victims at 40–45 people, significantly higher than the number shown in circulated videos. This report cross-checks live testimony with previous investigations, providing independent documentation of events that remain largely unaccounted for. verify-sy.com/ar/report/koba…

This report examines the mechanisms of child recruitment led by the Revolutionary Youth Movement in areas under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), describing it as an ideological and operational structure that lures children through ostensibly civilian activities before subjecting them to indoctrination and transferring them to military training camps affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) outside Syria. Based on international and human rights reports, as well as the movement’s own internal publications, the analysis shows that the militarization of childhood remains ongoing despite the declared political pathways for integrating the SDF, making the protection of children and the dismantling of these structures a fundamental prerequisite for any genuine national integration that respects the rule of law and human rights. verify-sy.com/ar/report/chil…
