Aleppo | Students of “Free Aleppo” university stage vigil in Azaz, demanding HTS release their college

Syrian Observatory activists monitored students of the university of “Free Aleppo” staging a vigil in Azaz city in the northern countryside of Aleppo, demanding the release of their college who is held in HTS prison.

 

It is worth noting that the university student was arrested by Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham a few days earlier in Atma city on the border with the Iskenderun region in northern Aleppo after altercation with members of HTS security forces, when they were arresting his relative for “belonging to ‘Islamic Party of Liberation'”.

 

On August 29, reliable SOHR sources confirmed that HTS security service launched a large-scale security campaign, targeting the affiliates of the “Islamic Party of Liberation” in Atma town in northern Idlib, near the border with Iskenderun region. HTS arrested tens of the party’s affiliates after storming their houses. HTS also attacked a demonstration by women calling for the release of detainees in HTS prisons, and opened fire indiscriminately with the aim of dispersing the protesters.
