Accused of “calling for anti-Turkey protests” | “Civil Police” arrest at least nine civilians in Jarablus city in Aleppo countryside

Aleppo province: SOHR activists have reported that civil police patrols in Jarablus, which is under the control of Ankara-backed- factions in the northeastern countryside of Aleppo, carried out a campaign of arrests of people who took part in yesterday’s protests against Turkish foreign minister’s statements about the possibility of reconciliation between the opposition and the Syrian regime.

According to SOHR activists, members of a civil police patrol arrested a displaced singer from Homs for “inciting demonstrations and raising slogans denouncing Turkish statements.”

Moreover, eight people have been arrested for “demonstrating near Jarablus border crossing between Syria and Turkey.

The arrest campaign comes amid popular calls to demonstrate today after noon prayers in Jarablus city, in response to the arrests campaign by “Civil Police.”

Yesterday, SOHR sources reported that Turkish soldiers stationed in the Turkish base in Al-Mastumah base in southern Idlib fired tear gas shells, attempting to disperse demonstrators who gathered in front of the base, as some protestors climbed up the walls of the base.
