Second consecutive day | Regime forces bring in military reinforcement after the failure of negotiations to release officers in Al-Suwaidaa city

Al-Suwaidaa province: SOHR sources have reported that regime security services brought in new military reinforcement to Al-Suwaidaa province from the capital Damascus for the second consecutive day.

Today, vigilante groups detained a number of regime officers, including an officer with the rank of colonel, who is the head of the Immigration and Passports Branch, after many groups have deployed since the early hours of this hours, on Damascus-Al-Suwaidaa road, while the regime’s security services prevented regime officers and members from entering Al-Suwaidaa province for fear of being detained.
According to the information, the fate of the young man remains unknown after his arrest, despite his family’s attempts to release him, amid information that he was tortured inside the regime’s prisons.
