SOC: Assad Regime Set Up Factories in Eastern Region to Produce and Smuggle Illicit Drugs

FILE - In this Friday, April 23, 2021 file photo, released by Saudi Press Agency, a Saudi custom officer opens imported pomegranates, as customs foiled an attempt to smuggle over 5 million pills of an amphetamine drug known as Captagon, which they said came from Lebanon, at Jiddah Islamic Port, Saudi Arabia. Lebanon called on Saudi Arabia Monday to reconsider its decision to ban Lebanese produce from entering the oil-rich kingdom over drug smuggling vowing to take strict measures to prevent such acts and investigate the case.

The Syrian Opposition Coalition’s (SOC) Al-Jazira and Euphrates Committee revealed that the Assad regime had set up factories in the eastern region to produce illicit drugs, and that it relies on Iranian militias that control the Syrian-Iraqi borders in order to smuggle drugs abroad.

The revelation came in a report presented by the Committee’s coordinator, Abdelbaset Abdullatif, during a meeting of the political committee. He made it clear that these drugs do not pose a danger to Syrian only, but also to all countries of the world. He also said that the Assad regime is smuggling illicit drugs through land borders and seaports with the help of allied militias in neighboring countries such as Lebanon.

Moreover, the report indicated that the Assad regime set up 24 production sites in Deir Ezzor, making the province a major center for shipping, producing and smuggling illicit drugs inside and outside Syria. Deir Ezzor is now the second major conduit for drugs trafficking after Dara’a in southern Syria, the report added, noting that these activities are taking place under the direct supervision of the 4th Division of the regime’s army, which is led by Maher al-Assad.

The report also indicated that the Assad regime brought experts in the production of Captagon from Afghanistan and recruited local agents to sell and distribute drugs.

Preserving independence and national sovereignty and maintaining the Syrian people's unity within the same Syrian soil is one of the critical pillars of the Syrian Coalition. The Coalition aims to overthrow the Assad regime along with all its symbols and pillars. It also aims to dismantle its security apparatus and hold accountable those involved in crimes against Syrians. In addition, it seeks to achieve a transition to a pluralistic, democratic and civil Syria.
