Daesh is a jihadist group notorious for its human rights abuses, including multiple kidnappings and killings. In 2014, it took large territories in Iraq and Syria and established a caliphate. Affiliated groups operate in North Africa, Yemen, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Daesh, which is outlawed in many countries, including Russia and the United States, recruits fighters from around the world. Many of the recruited people try to enter the territory controlled by the terrorist group through Turkey.
