SDF concludes combing operations in Sinaa prison and its surroundings

In a press conference, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced the conclusion of the combing operations in Al-Sinaa Prison, the Ghweran neighborhood, Hasaka, and the end of the remaining places in which ISIS fighters were holed up.

The leader of the SDF, Nowruz Ahmed, said that ISIS brutally executed 77 people working in the prison, while 40 fighters of the Kurdish forces, in addition to 4 citizens were killed in the seven-day clashes outside the prison.

She pointed out that the death toll of the prison break-in operation since its inception is 374 members of “ISIS” and 121 fighters from the Kurdish forces and prison staff.

The SDF leadership stated that some ISIS fighters came from neighboring countries and planned the operation months ago, warning of the dangerous conditions in other camps that have ISIS elements, such as al-Hawl, and the possibility of reoccurrence of what happened in al-Sinaa prison.

Many countries called for the return of their citizens, or the formation of an international court to expedite the trial and prosecution of ISIS members.

In response to the issue of children of ISIS, Mahmoud Barkhdan, a member of the leadership, said that they are no longer children after three years of their arrest, as they are over 18 years old now, so their fate is linked to the fate of ISIS detainees as a whole, and they will face the same fate of ISIS detainees.
