Thus, his detention period did not exceed 8 months, despite the large number of violations he committed.

The so-called Alaa Junaid is known for his ignorance of military issues, and for stealing the salaries of his members in Libya, and he is addicted to a drug known as “Crystal H-Pose”. Before heading to Libya, he was responsible for the Jindires sector within “Al-Hamzat” militia, and he became famous as the largest drug dealer in the entire northern countryside of Aleppo.
The so-called “Junaid” remains awake for 3 days due to drug use, and therefore is not aware of his actions, so he continues to humiliate the elements, especially the recruits from the camps, for their inability to respond, and they are blackmailed and deducted 500 dollars from their salary if they want to return to Syria.
On June 15, 2020, the Violations Documentation Center in northern Syria stated that the so-called “Junaid” was behind the arrest of 178 people from Jinderes area and its villages, and the fate of 64 of them is still unknown. Torture in secret militia prisons. Those who managed to escape from the militia’s prisons recount that they were subjected to brutal torture, and that there were deaths under torture in secret prisons.
