Misunderstanding | Military police severely beat National Army member for participating in protests in Al-Bab city

Aleppo province: Members of military police severely beat a member of the “National Army” in Al-Bab city, arguing that he is a civilian who had participated in the demonstrations that took place two days earlier, demanding that the killers of media activist Abu Ghanum and his wife be held accountable.

According to Syrian Observatory activists, the National Army member has arrested At Al-Bab Hospital then the military police members severely beat him.

Hours later, the National Army member was released after knowing that he is not a civilian but a member of the National Army faction.

On November 16, Military and Civil police officers by force of arms tried to remove the sit-in tent set up by the residents of Al-Bab city near the Center roundabout where the protesters demand that the killers of the media activist “Abu Ghanum” be held accountable, and the military police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.

This led to a clash between the people and the military police to prevent the removal of the sit-in tent.

According to Syrian Observatory activists, protesters confronted the military police, chanting slogans of “Shabiha Shabiha,” referring to the military police and accusing them of working to muffle voices demanding that Abu Ghanum’s killers be held accountable and exposing the leaders involved and ordered the killing of Abu Ghanum.
