Yezidi Child Killed by Turkish Airstrike in Sinjar
Khanke, Iraq.
The Free Yezidi Foundation has called upon NATO to condemn and halt the ongoing strikes conducted by the Turkish Air Force in Sinjar, targeting Yezidi Genocide survivors. These attacks are in egregious violation of international law and humanitarian principles. Dozens of Yezidis have been killed by Turkey. The people who are being assassinated by Turkey are Yezidi Genocide survivors who are from Sinjar, in Iraq, defending their land. One of the innocent victims of Turkish airstrikes is this young boy, pictured. This has outraged our Foundation and Yezidi society as a whole.
FYF has publicly and privately expressed frustration regarding these Turkish airstrikes, including with key NATO members, given the scale of civilian casualties and the negative impact on the potential return of Sinjar’s displaced people.
