For “collaborating with Turkish-backed factions” | “Asayish” arrests civilians in rural Hasakeh, and Al-Shabiba Al-Thawriya searches passers-by in al-Derbasiya streets

Hasakeh Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

SOHR activists say that the Internal Security Forces “Asayish” arrested a woman and her husband, after the wife returned from a visit to her family in the area of rural Abu Racine, which is under the control of Turkish-backed factions. “Asayish” confiscated individual weapons and some documents from their home.

The reasons for the arrest are probably for “collaborating with Turkish-backed factions.”

Meanwhile, Al-Asaish arrested a member of the border control from the village of Kermaniyah in Derbasiya countryside, who is involved in people smuggling, suspected of collaborating with Turkish-backed factions.

Separately, seven armed members of t “Al-Shabiba Al-Thawriya” gathered in a street in Al-Darbasiya in Al-Hasakeh countryside in order to search passers-by and check their identities.

Yesterday, SOHR sources reported growing tension in the city of Al-Qamishli in Al-Hasakah between regime forces and the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) over exchange of arrested by both sides. This tension followed the arrest of several people by regime forces for various charges, including accusations of “belonging to the Autonomous Administration, working in Autonomous Administration’s institutions, and defaulting the compulsory service in regime army”. Meanwhile, Asayish Forces, which dominate most of the city with SDF, responded to the regime’s arrests by arresting members of regime security services.

It is worth noting that no one of the detainees have been released so far, at a time when SOHR sources have confirmed that Russia is tying to control the situation through communications with Russian forces stationed in Al-Qamishli airbase and commanders of SDF and Asayish.
