On Tuesday 1st of July, the regime forces released three of Sweida’s detainees who were recently arrested for participating in the recent demonstrations in protest against the deteriorating living conditions and the neglect of the city, and demanded that the Assad regime be changed.
The released detainees were Bashar Amin Taraby, Salman Mamdouh Faraj, and Ihsan Muhammad Nofal.
Relevant sources in the city stated that the rest of the detainees would be released soon.
It is worth noting that the city of Suwayda in southern Syria witnessed demonstrations in June, calling for the overthrow of the Assad regime and the release of detainees, in addition to slogans condemning the deterioration of living conditions, which resulted in a campaign of repression and arrests among the demonstrators.
