SDF Spokesperson: Heseke prison under control after insurrection
The prison in which the revolt took place in is under control, said SDF Spokesman Gabriel.
Kino Gabriel, official spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) released a statement on the riot incited by ISIS members in a prison in Heseke Sunday evening.
The statement includes the following:
“Sunday evening, inside one of the largest prisons in which ISIS terrorists are held in Al-Hasakeh Governorate, a large-scale disobedience was carried out by the detained ISIS members, who managed to fully control the inferior part of the prison after they removed the dormitory and corridors doors, which required the intervention of special forces and anti-terrorist forces.
The situation inside the prison was controlled after a day-long insurrection that ended with joint negotiations between representatives of our forces and international coalition forces on one side, and ISIS detainees on the other hand.
We believe that the international coalition forces to fight ISIS and the international community have a responsibility to find a solution to the issue of detained ISIS members, provide more support for greater security measures, and improve the conditions of detainees inside prisons in North and East Syria.”
