Our correspondent reported that today, Border Guard militias detained three individuals—Ziad Mohamed Mohamed (45), Jihad Mohamed Ibrahim (50) from Jindires, and Mohamed Ibrahim (32) from Rajo—near the village of Shingeleh in the Bulbul sub-district. The arrests occurred while the men were attempting to cross the border with the help of smugglers. They are currently being held in Bulbul prison.
The detainees had recently arrived from Aleppo with the intention of crossing into Turkey and seeking asylum in Europe. However, they were apprehended by Syrian National Army militias, who are now holding them under harsh conditions. This practice aims to extort money from their families in exchange for their release.
