The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights revealed that the body of a 5-year-old girl was found murdered with a sharp object, and dumped in a garbage bin in the city of Manbij in northern Syria.
The “Russia Today” website, quoting the observatory, said that “the girl’s family killed her in cold blood with a crime unrelated to honor, after she was raped by a person.”
After it was found, the body was taken to Al-Furat Hospital in Manbij, in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.
The observatory, which described this incident as a crime of “no honor”, renewed its demand that “the killers should be given a fair trial, and not only them, but all those who committed crimes under the pretext of honor in various Syrian lands.”
Last November, an unknown person raped a 3-year-old girl, after he kidnapped her to the fields in the al-Shahba area, within the areas where the Kurdish forces were deployed in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
And a crime that shook Syrian circles, last July, in the city of Hasaka, after a man strangled his 16-year-old daughter, after she was raped by her cousin more than a year ago, after her family killed a child she gave birth to from the son of her uncle, and a court ruling was issued against the girl’s cousin to be imprisoned for 30 years, so that her father imprisoned her in a room in his house located in the Kallaseh neighborhood in the city of Hasaka.
