"Amnesty International also interviewed residents from Ras al-Ayn and the village of Tel Diyab in Ras al-Ayn countryside who said that they had been forcibly displaced by the YPG and Asayish, the Autonomous Administration’s police force, and that their property had been destroyed or confiscated, though they said that they – and not the entire community – were singled out for this treatment.
While the majority of residents affected by these unlawful practices are Arabs and Turkmen, in some cases, for example in the mixed town of Suluk, Kurdish residents have also been barred by the YPG and Asayish from returning to their homes. Elsewhere, for example in Abdi Koy village, a small number of Kurdish residents have also been forcibly displaced by the YPG. Amnesty International researchers also observed that Arab and Turkmen residents continued to reside unmolested in other areas under the control of the Autonomous Administration, including, for example, in the city of Ras al-Ayn, which is predominantly Arab."
From the text itself, it doesn't seem to actually be a case of ethnic cleansing, either.
Forceful displacement and forceful migration of a population is considered ethnic cleansing by the UN.
Only if it's deliberately targeting a specific ethnicity. These forced relocations - as shitty as they are - aren't being aimed at any one specific ethnic group. Even Kurds have endured this, as I literally just quoted from the text.
