For human trafficking | Iranian militias and regime forces form networks in Syria

Al-Raqqa province: SOHR activists have reported that SDF members released regime soldiers, after regime forces reached SDF checkpoint in Al-Raqqa countryside, while pursuing a young man who fled from a regime checkpoint in fear of being arrested.

According to reliable SOHR sources, a young man wanted for compulsory service drove a regime military vehicle and fled with it when he was stopped along with a group of young men, who were on their way from SDF-held areas to Lebanon via human trafficking networks that operate i cooperation with regime
forces and the Lebanese “Hezbollah”.

Meanwhile, members of the checkpoint drove a civil car and pursued the young man all the way to an SDF checkpoint in Akirash area in southern Al-Raqqa countryside, where SDF members arrested six regime soldiers with their weapons, before releasing them later.

Moreover, regime forces still have six people detained, who were with the young man who fled to the SDF checkpoint.

Iranian militias, the Lebanese “Hezbollah” and regime officers form human trafficking networks, narcotics and weapons networks, earning huge amounts of money, where they earn nearly 250 USDs for smuggling one person without the passengers being stopped at the checkpoints, in light of the lack of law and them abusing the law.
