Locals and factions prevent ‘Al-Jabha Al-Shamiyyah’ from arresting the head of ‘Tal Abyad Council’
[SYRIAHR] Reliable sources have informed the Syrian Observatory that "Al-Jabha al-Shamiyyah" attempted to arrest the head of "Tal Abyad Council" in the northern countryside of al-Raqqah yesterday, but several factions, battalions and people of the area interfered preventing the Ottoman Turkish-backed faction from doing so.

Observatory sources said that the Ottoman Turkish-backed "Military Police" kidnapped four civilians from Katouf village in the western countryside of Ras al-Ain (Sere Kaniye) yesterday.

The kidnapped people were taken to unknown destination, while the reasons behind kidnapping them were unknown.

This incident was a part of practices by Ottoman Turkish forces and their proxies to clamp down on civilians in areas held by "Peace Spring" factions.

Yesterday, SOHR sources reported that Ottoman Turkish intelligence released (Sheikh Onaizan), one of the most prominent tribe elders in al-Raqqah province, less than 24 hours after arresting him in Mushayrifat al-Sheikh Ahmed in Tal Abyad countryside.

For his part, the Sheikh thanked media outlets which participated in exerting pressure on Ottoman Turkish authorities to release him. According to the Sheikh, Ottoman Turkish forces accused him of dealing with Syria Democratic Forces, and he responded to these allegations saying that he had no ties with SDF or any other parties.

It is noteworthy that SOHR and other media outlets exerted pressure attempting to force Ottoman Turkish authorities to release the old Sheikh.
