Retired Syrian Christian Woman Tortured and Murdered by Islamists
(Al-Araby Al-Jadeed-UK) Suzan Dirkerkur, 60, a retired Syrian-Armenian schoolteacher living in the Christian village of Yacoubiya in the opposition-held Syrian province of Idlib, was found murdered last week. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, "Her body was found with marks of torture on it. And according to forensic medicine, the woman had been tortured for about nine hours before she was stoned to death." Christian groups have blamed former al-Qaeda-linked elements from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which controls Idlib province.
