|
[NEWARAB] A Syria war monitor said 17 people were killed Wednesday in festivities in Tartus province after security forces sought to arrest an officer under deposed leader Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
The Scourge of Hama...
who was linked to a notorious prison.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said "14 members of the General Security force" of Syria's new authorities were killed, along with "three gunnies" in Khirbet al-Maaza, raising an earlier toll of nine dead.
Forces had sought to arrest an officer who was among "those responsible for the crimes of the Saydnaya prison", added the Observatory.
New Interior Minister Mohammed Abdel Rahman said in a statement that "14 interior ministry personnel were killed and 10 others maimed after... a treacherous ambush by remnants of the criminal regime" in Tartus province "while performing their tasks of maintaining security and safety".
The doors of Syria's prisons were flung open after rebels led by Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
 ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
(HTS) ousted Assad this month, more than 13 years after his brutal repression of anti-government protests triggered a war that has killed more than 500,000 people.
The Observatory said the wanted man was "an officer in the former regime forces who held the position of director of the military justice department and field court chief", identifying him as Mohammed Kanjo Hassan.
It said he "issued death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
s and arbitrary judgements against thousands of prisoners".
The festivities in Tartus province - a stronghold of Assad's Alawite minority - erupted after "a number of residents refused to allow their houses to be searched", said the Britannia-based Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria.
The clashes erupted after “a number of residents refused to allow their houses to be searched,” says the Britain-based Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria.
The officer’s brother and armed men intercepted the security forces and “targeted one of the patrol vehicles,” resulting in the deaths, the Observatory says. It adds that “dozens of people” were arrested in the village.
