Mass Release of Detainees Reported from SDF-Run Prisons in Syria
A spokesperson for the Syrian presidential team, Ahmed al-Hilali, said in remarks to a TV channel that approximately 500 detainees are still being held and that their cases will be reviewed in the upcoming period.
He said the releases are part of an earlier agreement between the Syrian government and the SDF reached this year. According to him, the detainee issue is being treated as a humanitarian matter, while the SDF is reportedly continuing steps toward integration with state institutions.
Al-Hilali added that current arrangements include transferring prison management from SDF control to the country’s justice and interior ministries.
He also noted that another group of detainees is expected to be released next week, stressing that the ongoing releases are taking place without conditions.
The most recent release, carried out on Monday, represents the fourth batch. The third group, released on Saturday, included 91 detainees. Earlier releases took place on March 10 and March 19, with the second batch involving 400 detainees, while the number released in the first batch was not disclosed.
