Last Sunday, March 19th, the Turkish intelligence arrested an IDP named Omar Ahmed Omar, 59, from the town of Tal Jabbin in the countryside of Aleppo. He was charged with smuggling Syrian regime loyalists from Afrin to Turkish territories.
According to our reporter, the detainee, Ahmed Kabsou, leader of the military police militias, was the partner of the arrested IDP. He informed on him to secure exclusive possession of the financial sum of $40,000, which was the remuneration for smuggling these individuals. Furthermore, he also seized the IDP’s car.
The “National Army” militias are accused of smuggling members of the ISIS organization for financial gain. On February 28th, “afrinpost” obtained information that six members belonging to the terrorist “ISIS” organization, who were imprisoned in the “Reş Prison” located in the Rajo sub-district in the occupied Afrin region in northern Aleppo, were smuggled for large sums of money, taking advantage of the circumstances left by the earthquake that struck Syria and Turkey on February 6th.
A special source inside the prison informed “Afrin Post” that six “ISIS” members, four of whom were of Moroccan origin and two were Iraqi, including a Moroccan woman imprisoned since 2019, were smuggled on Saturday, February 18th, 2023, for $35,000 for each prisoner.
On February 7th, the French news agency AFP quoted an unnamed prison official as saying that about 20 prisoners suspected of belonging to ISIS managed to escape from the Rajo prison, while other prisoners staged a rebellion inside it. The official explained that “the prison was affected by the earthquake, and on Monday evening, prisoners staged a rebellion, taking over a number of its departments.”
The prison holds around two thousand prisoners, including 1,500 detainees suspected of belonging to the ISIS organization, in addition to detainees belonging to the forces of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, according to the “AFP” agency.
