“We categorically reject the baseless allegations of human rights violations claimed against the Syrian
opposition... and concerning our country in relation to them,” the Turkish foreign ministry said on

On Tuesday, U.N. war crimes investigators said Turkey must rein in Syrian rebels it supports in
northern Syria who may have carried out kidnappings, torture and looting of civilian property
following a report covering the first half of 2020.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said the human rights situation in parts
of northern Syria is grim and called on Turkey to ensure that violations committed by armed groups
under their control cease.

Ankara also rejected the criticism and called it groundless.

Ankara backs rebels trying to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad backed by Russia and Iran. Turkey
seized control of some northern border towns in recent years with cross border incursions to push
back Syrian Kurdish YPG fighters, which Ankara views as a terrorist group.
