n Assyrian activist and journalist living in Sweden underscored that the international community and Western media disregard atrocities and human rights violations against the Assyrian community committed by PKK-affiliated People's Protection Units (YPG) in Syria despite many human rights organizations' documentation of these incidents.
"Many attacks on Assyrians were revealed [in the report]. Unfortunately, many politicians and journalists in Sweden didn't see these reports and fell under the fake spell of those who promote the YPG," Caroline Envia Khamo said in an article she wrote for Swedish broadcaster SVT.
Noting that the terrorists were committing arbitrary killings and confiscating property and land belonging to the Assyrians, Khamo underscored that, "Unfortunately, it is impossible to read these events in the Swedish media, such as the killing of Assyrians by the YPG and the oppression their schools are exposed to."
The Assyrians are a community that traces their heritage back to ancient Mesopotamia, and they speak a Semitic language distinct from Arabic, which exists in Iraq and Syria with among smaller population in Turkey.
