Some Turkish cities, especially those on the Syrian border, are no
longer safe for the thousands of Syrian refugees coming into the
country.
In cases of reported kidnapping of Syrian children and girls, as well as
problems between refugees and Turkish citizens, the Turkish authorities
have often paid little attention to solving the crimes.
Their justification for their lack of interest is the “large number of
Syrians in Turkey” that has made it difficult for them to keep up with
the incidents.
On Friday, another Syrian refugee fell victim to a crime in Turkey.
Ghina Abu Saleh, 19, who came from Aleppo was stabbed to death by two
young men in an attempted theft, according to reports on social media
accounts of Turkish news agencies. A Syrian child tried to defend Abu
Saleh when she was attacked, but ended up with injuries that left him
hospitalized.
Despite the Turkish police’s announcement that they will be
investigating the killing, no new information about her death was
released.
Abu Saleh’s father called for an investigation to disclose the
circumstances of his daughter’s death on social media, but then later
deleted the post without any clear reasons.
Turkish news agencies said, “The two suspects were driving a motorbike,
when they stopped and walked towards the young woman and asked to use
her mobile phone, but she refused.” The suspects then proceeded to stab
Abu Saleh.
After her death, many Turkish citizens took to social media to demand
that her killers be found and held accountable. Abu Saleh was a student
at the Gaziantep University in Turkey.
Crimes affecting Syrian refugees are a common occurrence in Turkey,
especially in the absence of serious investigations and a lack of media
coverage.
