SDF militia escalates its intimidating practices and prevents employees from entering their workplaces in Qamishli

The separatist (SDF) militia has escalated its repressive and intimidating practices against citizens in the city of Qamishli in Hasaka countryside, and by force of arms it prevented employees from entering a number of government buildings and service departments in the city.

SANA correspondent in Qamishli stated that an armed group affiliated with the (SDF) militia stormed Ibn al-Abri Street, which includes a number of government buildings and service departments, and intercepted the employees and prevented them by force of arms from performing their work in the buildings and departments of grain, finance, electricity, the educational complex, the agricultural bank and the cultural center, and expelled a number of workers who had entered some buildings.

These practices come within the framework of the militia’s attempts linked to the US occupation to disrupt government service institutions and increase pressure on citizens on the one hand, and perpetuate its separatist plans on the other.

The head of the educational complex in al-Qamishli, Hassan al-Hussein, said in a statement to SANA that armed men from the SDF prevented him and a number of employees in the complex from entering the building while they were on their way to work this Thursday morning.

In turn, the director of the Syrian Grain branch in Qamishli, Abdullah Al-Abdullah, indicated that this behavior is unacceptable and that there is no alternative to state institutions to manage citizens’ affairs, indicating that the SDF militants expelled the employees while they were on their way to their workplace without knowing the reason.

On the ninth of this month, the SDF militia stormed Al-Baath bakery in the city of Qamishli and expelled the guards, after besieging it for two full days. On the twenty-sixth of last February, it seized the Social Security and Labor building in the city of Qamishli, and considered it a military zone to which entry is prohibited.
