Amnesty International said on Wednesday it had documented widespread abuses, including torture and deprivation of medical care, in detention centers housing thousands of suspected Islamic State members and their families in northeast Syria.
The centers and camps are home to about 56,000 people, most of them children and teenagers, and are run by local authorities linked to the US-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The SDF and its allies, including US-led coalition forces, defeated the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria in 2019, ending the self-proclaimed Islamic “caliphate” that ruled large swathes of territory spanning Iraq and Syria. .
