Northeast Syrian authorities close down Kurdish news outlet
Tensions are running high between Kurdish political parties in the region following clashes in neighboring Iraq.
Northeast Syrian officials closed down the Iraqi Kurdish news outlet Kurdistan 24 on Sunday, contributing to worsening relations between Kurdish parties in Syria and Iraq.
The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria said that Kurdistan 24 “published hate speech” and “sowed discord among the Kurdish people.” As a result, authorities revoked the registration of Kurdistan 24’s office, the administration said in a press release.
