HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) released on Sunday 180 prisoners detained for terrorism-related crimes from the central prison in Hasakah Governorate in northeastern Syria.
North Press correspondent reported that hundreds of residents gathered in front of central prison gate in the Guweiran neighborhood in Hasakah, waiting for the release of their detained relatives.
He added that about 180 prisoners were released, and the administration of the prison will release them in batches after taking the necessary procedures.
