Very Important: Using Christian civilians as human shields Around 35 Assyrian Christian villages ✝️ remain besieged and effectively held hostage by the terrorist PKK militias in eastern Hasakah (the Khabur region). These Kurdish militias are reportedly attempting to exploit these villages to manipulate public opinion and falsely portray the situation as an attack by the Syrian army against Christians. Assyrian activists are appealing to the international community to intervene, protect the civilians, and ensure their neutrality and safety away from militia control. #Syria #PKK #SDF #SDFReleaseIS -
