Hevrin Khalaf: Death of a peacemaker

A ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Arabic investigation has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting the Syrian-Kurdish political leader, Hevrin Khalaf, was executed by a faction of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army.

Rebel group Ahrar al-Sharqiya, which fights for the SNA, is accused of her murder, but has told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ it is not responsible for the politician's death.

But by speaking to members of Ahrar al-Sharqiya, as well as Hevrin Khalaf's family, former colleagues and an eyewitness, plus using open source investigation tools, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has discovered a different story about what happened on 12 October 2019.

The Turkish government, which backs the Syrian National Army, has not responded to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ requests for comment.
