SNA faction assaults Iraqi woman, detains family in north Hasakah
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday, members an opposition faction, affiliated with the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA), beat an elderly Iraqi woman and arrested her together with her daughter and husband near Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain), north of Hasakah, on charges of receiving remittances from “suspicious” sources.
An SNA security source told North Press that a group belonging to the Sultan Murad faction raided a makeshift camp on the outskirts of the town of Tel Halaf, west of Sere Kaniye, this morning. They beat an elderly Iraqi woman named Rabaa al-Ammar and arrested her along with her 19-year-old daughter and her elderly husband.
The source said that they were charged with “receiving remittances from suspicious parties in Hasakah.” Iraqi nationals fear for their lives in Syria. If they are detained, no parties are ready to help them.
The Sultan Murad faction did not hand over the detainees to the SNA’s Civil Police to be interrogated and brought to justice. Rather, it kept them within its security center, under the eyes of Turkish intelligence, according to the source.
