US watchdog group: Turkey’s actions in Syria endanger religious diversity
The partial withdrawal of US troops from northeast Syria in October created a vacuum for religious repression, a bipartisan US agency says.
A congressionally appointed watchdog body said today that Turkey and its proxies are curtailing the rights of religious minorities in northern Syria and will continue to do so if the United States doesn’t intervene to stop them.
“The United States cannot look the other way as this disaster unfolds,” said Nadine Maenza, vice chair of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom.
