Member of the Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC), Ayman Al-Assimi, stressed that the Assad regime will never change its bloody policies, and will seek revenge against everyone who joined the Syrian revolution. He said that the Assad regime has not honored any of the pledges and promises it made.
Al-Assimi stressed the need not to trust the Assad regime, which plots evil for all the people of the revolution, adding that arrests and executions continue against even those who were lured into the so-called settlement of their status with the regime.
Al-Assimi pointed out that rights organizations confirmed that the Assad regime will not pardon or forgive anyone. He cited a report by Ahrar Houran Conglomerate as saying that the young man Ahmed Khattab, 33 years old from Nawa west of Daraa, was killed under torture in Sednaya Military Prison after a four-year detention.
The Conglomerate added that Khattab was a soldier who defected from the Assad regime forces. He turned himself in after he settled his status and joined his military unit. After two and a half months, the Assad regime arrested him and sent him to Sednaya prison.
The Conglomerate said that it had recorded 105 people from Daraa governorate who were killed under torture in the Assad regime’s detention centers since it retook control of the province in July 2018. The Conglomerate documented the deaths of dozens of dissidents under torture in Sednaya military prison after the so-called settlement agreement was reached in mid-2018.
The Assad regime’s intelligence services detained hundreds of former defectors from its forces after they turned themselves in at the Military Police building in the al-Qaboun neighborhood of Damascus although the regime issued two amnesty decrees for the defectors if they turned themselves in.
