In a new episode in the series of the escape of ISIS members and leaders from the prisons of the Islamic militias affiliated with the Turkish occupation and the Muslim Brotherhood, today, Monday, April 27, eight ISIS prisoners, including two leaders, escaped from the Agriculture Prison of the “Hamza Division” militia in the city of Al-Bab in Aleppo countryside, according to the Violations Documentation Center in northern Syria.
Such operations reveal the great successes of the ISIS security apparatus, which has started operating in various areas under the control of the Turkish occupation, and plans to launch more attacks on the SDF-controlled areas, benefiting from Turkish protection, and from its close relations with its militias within the so-called With the “Syrian National Army”, especially since the organization has a huge budget, while those militias suffer from a lack of funding that Ankara has become unable to provide.
The escape of ISIS prisoners from the prisons of the Brotherhood militia is not the first of its kind. Previously, 10 ISIS members managed to escape on December 6, 2019, among whom 5 belonged to ISIS – including non-Syrian nationalities – from a prison controlled by “Ahrar Al-Sharqia” militia in the Raju region in the city of Afrin.
More than 20 prisoners from ISIS members and leaders were able to escape from a prison for the Ahrar al-Sham militia in Idlib governorate, in a dramatic process in which prisoners were able to capture the prison, and 15 ISIS escaped from a prison under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood militias, including foreign nationalities on July 13, 2018.
A number of ISIS leaders also escaped from a prison controlled by the Ahrar al-Sham Militia Brotherhood’s security prison at the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, in addition to smuggling ISIS prisoners by of “Ahrar Al-Sham / Jabhat al-Nusra, which is the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda,” during its attack on Ahrar al-Sham militia in the north.
On March 4, 2019, 5 prisoners managed to escape from a prison run by the “Military Police” militia from the same prison in the Raju district in Afrin, controlled by the “Failaq Al-Sham” militia, and were arrested after publishing videos of them assaulting and torturing civilians.
The Violations Documentation Center clarified that the success of ISIS members and leaders in escaping more than once and in more than one prison for the Turkish-Brotherhood militias, known for its high-security, is linked by some paying huge amounts of up to 50 thousand dollars in exchange for helping a prisoner to escape, while any of the militia leaders did not hesitate to refuse such an attractive offer for them! The ISIS members are being released from prison through a scene called “escaping”.
