Shafaq News- Hasakah
The Syrian government announced on Friday plans to release
30 female fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as part of the
implementation of the integration agreement.
Ahmed Al-Hilali, spokesperson for the Syrian presidential team
overseeing the SDF-Asayish integration in Hasakah province, confirmed that the
release follows Thursday’s liberation of 600 detainees from SDF prisons.
He explained that logistical challenges, including the
dispersed locations of detainees, transport delays, and adverse weather, had
delayed part of the process, emphasizing that no negotiation obstacles were
involved. “The SDF will continue releasing detainees in the coming
phase, aiming to empty its prisons and transfer control to official Syrian
government authorities,” he noted.
Meanwhile, the Syrian
government is preparing to address the status of detainees held by the SDF
during recent clashes, including those from Deir Hafer in eastern Aleppo.
Damascus and the SDF concluded a comprehensive ceasefire on January 30, 2026, following weeks of escalation in northeastern Syria. The accord ends fighting, places SDF units within the Syrian military, transfers urban security in Hasakah and Qamishli to state control, merges Autonomous Administration structures into government institutions, affirms Kurdish civil rights, and facilitates the return of displaced residents.
