A group of armed men detain and torture two residents of Afrin, according to video footage obtained by Rudaw, showing the armed men beating the civilians in public. A source inside Afrin told Rudaw that the incident took place in the Mahmoudiya neighborhood of the city. The Kurdish city of Afrin fell to Syrian rebels backed by Turkey in March after weeks of intense fighting. The area has since witnessed acts of looting, Arabization and its original inhabitants prevented from returning home.
