ISIS militants renew riots at Hasaka prison
[Rudaw] The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have regained control of a prison holding ISIS holy warriors in Hasaka after fresh riots were launched this weekend.
Burn it to the ground. Don't let anyone out
ISIS detainees at Sanaa prison, in Hasaka’s Geweran neighbourhood reportedly began rioting on Saturday.

The SDF- who run the prison- said on Sunday evening that they are in full control of the facility following "negotiations" between the SDF and coalition forces on one hand, and prisoners on the other.

"Yesterday evening, inside one of the largest prisons in which ISIS holy warriors are staying in al-Hasakeh province, the ISIS detainees held a large-scale riot operation," SDF spokesperson Kino Gabriel said in Sunday statement.

"The ISIS detainees completely took control of the prison inside after they removed the doors of the dormitories and corridors, which required the intervention of special forces and counter terrorism forces to stop them," Gabriel said.

The US-led coalition provided support to the SDF, Gabriel added.

"The illegal coalition aircraft are flying over the area where the prison is located in conjunction with continued insubordination," Syrian state media outlet SANA reported on Sunday evening.

The prison has seen several disturbances in recent months, with two riots taking place in March.

Somewhere between 3,000-5000 prisoners from around 50 nationalities are held in the prison, most of whom were detained by Kurdish and coalition forces in the last ISIS stronghold of Baghouz in March 2019.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) confirmed the incident, reporting that coalition jets "fired flares" over the facility.

There are currently more than 10,000 suspected ISIS members held in SDF prisons.

#2 What a fucking joke. If thousands of daesh bastards are conveniently placed in prisons, why not just incinerate them all with flame throwers and incendiaries ?

#4 I think it's because a muslim can never bring himself to killing the ISIS. In their own minds they believe themselves gone astray for modern conveniences, while the holy boys of the caliphate are actually the true believers. Maybe they only guiltily hold them prisoner, tolerating their outrages. It's probably why parents and guardians, seeing the first signs of radicalization do not stop their wards. They can't. They're just too chicken to fight themselves, and the least they can do is step out of the way. The ISIS is the truest representation of islam, as it was supposed to be.
