A human rights organisation has reported a massive displacement of civilians in areas occupied by the YPG/PKK terrorist group in eastern Syria.

Farhad Osu, head of the Rasd Syria Network for Human Rights said on Wednesday; "Areas held by YPG/PKK have recently seen the mass displacement of civilians towards neighboring countries and Europe.

"Most of the migrants are young people who are forcibly recruited by the terror group.

"YPG/PKK terrorists plant landmines in towns and cities and terrorize residents, making them eager to leave the area in search of safety."

Osu said the terrorist group forces migrants to pay hefty sums of money to be allowed to leave their areas as most traffickers are members of the organisation.

He also cited the deteriorating economic conditions, taxes imposed by the YPG/PKK and lack of jobs for pushing residents to leave the areas held by the terrorist group.
