Syrian opposition war prisoners believed to be Kurds
Syrian opposition forces from Jarablus took four fighters as captives on Sunday, believed to be Syrian Kurdish YPG fighters. An earlier video obtained by Rudaw showed soldiers of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) beating and kicking YPG fighters taken captive in fighting, including child soldiers.
The Syrian rebels call the new captives “separatists.” They said that, at the "request of the people in the villages south of Jarablus, we came today and liberated the villages from these separatists."
"Our first and last goal is the unity of Syria, and we want to cleanse Syria from these separatist groups, the Assad regime and ISIS."
