HTS arrests dozens in camp in northern Idlib

IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday, members of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) raided the Kilali camp in northern Idlib and arrested around 29 people, including 10 women, on charges of inciting protests against the group.

According to a local source, a unit from the General Security Apparatus cordoned off the camp and prevented residents from leaving for two hours before launching the arrests.

The detainees, including elderly people and women, were taken to a detention facility in Idlib city for questioning amid growing tensions in the camp and calls for protests against the group’s actions.

Reports indicate that HTS has increased its arrests of residents in several camps and towns in northern Idlib, including Kilali, Deir Hassan, Atme, Harbanush, Ariha, and Jisr al-Shughur, in an attempt to quell protests against the group’s policies.
