Aleppo | HTS beat women and arrest displaced people in refugee camp, while demonstrators demand the release of detainees in HTS prisons

SOHR sources have reported that security forces of Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham have stormed a camp in the western countryside of Aleppo, arresting several people, after verbal argument and hand-to-hand fighting between the camp’s residents on one hand, and staff of relief organization and HTS members on the other.

 

According to SOHR sources, several pickup vehicles with a submachine guns installed over them affiliated to HTS have stormed Hourta refugee camp near Kafr Naseh town, where the security forces arrested several people and beat several women, including a pregnant lady and an old woman.

On March 7, SOHR activists monitored several women staging a demonstration in Telaada town in the northern countryside of Idlib, demanding the release of their husbands and sons, who had been arrested by Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham for “belonging to the jihadi organization of Hurras Al-Din”. These arrests were a part of HTS security campaign launched throughout Idlib a few days ago, targeting commanders and members of “Hurras al-Din” organization which swore allegiance to “al-Qaida”.

 

On the other hand, another female demonstration took place in  Al-Sahara town in west Aleppo countryside, where women demanded the release of their husbands and sons, affiliates the “Islamic Party of Liberation”, who were arrested by HTS security services a few days ago.
