News Center- The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) released a statement on the Turkish drone attack that targeted a vehicle belonging to the women's channel JIN TV on the road between Qamishlo and Amûde in North and East Syria on August 23. The drone attack killed the driver and press worker Necmedîn Feysel Hec Sînan and injured JIN TV correspondent Delila Ağîd.

In the statement, the IFJ urged the Turkish authorities to launch an immediate investigation and to hold the perpetrators accountable. “The Federation restates the demand that journalists and media workers must not be targeted and they should be allowed to perform their work without interference,” the statement said.

In the statement, the federation said, “On August 23, a suspected drone attack near Qamishli city killed driver Faisal Haj Sinan, an employee of Jin TV. Reporter Dalila Agid, who was working for the same outlet, was severely injured in the same attack. This is the second time Tûrkiye has been accused of attacking journalists in the region. Last December another journalist was killed in a similar attack with airstrikes in the countryside of Al-Hasakah Governorate, in northeastern Syria."
