Al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) is reportedly rounding up government supporters in the northwestern Syrian region of Greater Idlib.
On May 29, the General Security Agency, the security wing of HTS, carried out an arrest campaign in the region. Dozens of government supporters were arrested from the towns of Salqin, Harem, Darkoush, and Kafr Takharim in northern Idlib as well as from the town of Jisr al-Shughur in western Idlib.
The campaign targeted anyone who voiced his support for the last presidential elections in Syria, which saw incumbent President Bashar al-Assad wining 95.1% of the votes.
According to opposition activists, as many as 300 civilians were arrested by HTS’ General Security Agency. Some of the detainees were reportedly arrested for posting pro-government remarks on social media or for defending the elections in privet conversations.
The detainees will likely face charges such as “supporting the regime” or “spying for the Syrian intelligence,” which are usually punished with death.
For the last few years, HTS has been working to tighten its grip on Greater Idlib by oppressing and intimidating anyone who oppose its rule in Greater Idlib. The terrorist group’s iron fist didn’t spare opposition activists, media workers or even fellow jihadists. Despite this, attempts to whitewash the group by the mainstream media are still ongoing.
They might be utilized as human shields.

Meanwhile, Putin makes Syria sit on its hands.
This is the problem,SAA should be launching a major attack on Idlib,problem now is since the stupid ceasefire those rats have had more time to prepare defences.
Its more compiicated then you think, but the time for HTS is ticking away…
No. It’s simple. If Putin wants to prove to me that he’s the real deal he should send 100,000 troops to Idlib and bomb Sweden. We all know he won’t do that, since he is too busy with such silly things as diplomacy and strategy. There was a volcano erupting in the Congo, why did Putin not prevent that? It becomes so clear that hes in bed with israhell and the globalists.
Bro what Sweden do to you?
This “Fog of War” used like it seems Irony and Sarcasm….
When will Syria/Russia/Iran clear Idlib of vermin cockroaches?
After Iran elections, support for Armenia from me!
Arius i wanna i ask u something, how do u think about joining Russian Federation as a Republic State like Chechyna or Dagestan ???
With israel licking its Gaza-inflicted wounds and Iran boosting Syrian defenses, NOW is the time for SAA & allies to liberate greater Idlib from the western-sponsored terrorist filth.
I hope the complicit western MSM has plenty of whitewash. They tried the same with the ‘helemts’ but it wasn’t entirely successful. The filth and grime still showed through.
I fully expect western gov’ts will soon do the same. Rogue western gov’ts and terrorists in Idlib both want the same things. Absolute control and obedience.
