Deir Ezzur

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have dispatched new military convoys to Deir Ezzur province in Eastern Syria to clamp down on rising public dissent in their occupied territories, sources said.

Hundreds of civilians poured to the streets in the towns of al-Shahil, Zaman, al-Shanan, and Gharanij in Eastern Deir Ezzur to show their protest against the presence of the SDF in Eastern Syria, and called for their swift exit from the region, battlefield sources in Eastern Syria said Saturday.

The sources, meantime, pointed to the death of a jailed civilian in SDF prison after being tortured by the Kurdish forces, and said that the people resumed their protests after the SDF refrained from releasing the jailed civilians.

Meanwhile, the SDF targeted people's protests with live bullets after sending military convoys to the villages of al-Tayaneh and al-Shanan as well as the town of Zabian in Eastern Deir Ezzur.

In the meantime, tens of civilians in the SDF-occupied refugee camp in Southeastern Hasaka held rallies in protest at SDF and lack of facilities. Reports from witnesses near the camp said the SDF clashed with the civilians and arrested a number of women and children.
