Ongoing oppre*ssion | Regime security services arr*est woman arbitrarily in Al-Mayadeen city

Deir Ezzor province: SOHR sources have reported that regime security members stationed at Al-Bel’oum checkpoint in Al-Mayadeen city, the Iranians’ “autonomous capital” in Syria, arrested a woman under the pretext that “her relatives had joined ISIS during its control of the city.”

 

According to SOHR sources, the woman was verbally abused and taken in a military vehicle to unknown destination.

 

This comes as a part of ongoing arbitrary arrests of civilians in regime-controlled areas.

 

On January 21, SOHR sources reported that the regime’s security services arrested a young man called “Ahmed Al-Rafdan” in Deir Ezzor, the brother of a prominent former ISIS leader named “Amer Al-Rafdan,” who had been appointed Deir Ezzor governor by ISIS during ISIS control over Deir Ezzor.

 

It is worth noting that the detainee struck a settlement deal with the regime.
