‘U.S.-Backed Militants Abduct Civilians in Raqqah for Body Organs’

DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The citizens of Raqqah are being kidnapped by the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to be used in body organ trade, the Arabic-language media outlets said.
The Arabic-language Neda News Website affiliated to the militants reported that the Kurdish militias have kidnapped civilians in Raqqah city and steal their body party after transferring them to their clandestine hospitals in several regions in Raqqah and the city of al-Tabaqa, where Turkish physicians conduct surgeries.
It quoted several Raqqah citizens as saying that civilians have found a mass grave in al-Ramileh region near a media center which contains dead bodies of a number of civilians, including children, whose body organs have been stolen.
The report said corpses of civilians have also been found in the town of al-Amerieh in western Raqqah and al-Akirshi southeast of the town, adding that early examinations have shown that body organs of these corpses have also been taken away.
It said that Raqqah citizens have recently confronted some groups affiliated to the Kurdish militias while they were trying to abduct a number of children.
The SDF are cooperating with Zionist physicians in setting up hospitals for body organ trade in eastern Syria, the Arabic-language media outlets reported in July.
In a relevant development in mid-July, the Arabic-language al-A’alam TV channel quoted informed sources in Hasaka as saying that the SDF had set up clandestine field hospitals for stealing and trading body organs of people in the cities of Hasaka and Qamsehli in northeastern Hasaka province.
The sources said that the SDF had engaged in body organ trade by either abducting children or by taking out the organs of their slain militants who had been forced into the rank of the terrorist group.
In a relevant development in October 2018, terrorists in northwestern Syria had intensified trafficking of the body organs of Idlib citizens to Turkey to earn more money in the country's black market.
Syria's Arabic-language al-Mahaver news website reported that body organ trading by terrorists has intensified in Idlib city and other militant-held regions in the northwestern province.
