Bu sabah saatlerinde, bileşen partimiz ESP ile SKM, DİSK/LİMTER-İŞ, BEKSAV’ın da aralarında bulunduğu birçok kurumun çalışanı, yapılan polis baskınları sonucu gözaltına alındı. ESP Eş Genel Başkanı Murat Çepni ve PM Üyemiz Emin Orhan’ın yanı sıra gazeteciler, ekolojistler ve sendikacılar da gözaltına alınanlar arasında. İktidarın sosyalistlere ve muhaliflere yönelik yargı eliyle yürüttüğü bu baskı politikası kabul edilemez. Gözaltına alınanlar derhal serbest bırakılmalıdır. Rojava’ya yönelik saldırıları protesto ettikleri için son dönemde gözaltına alınan ve tutuklanan yurttaşlarımız da dahil olmak üzere, demokratik tepkilerini dile getirenlere yönelik bu baskılara son verilmelidir.

Tomorrow will be a real test for the agreement between the SDF and the Syrian Government. The Syrian MOI as civil personnel will enter the cities of Qamishlo and Hassakeh; escorted by the Kurdish Asayish. They will set up local *offices* for SDF (Asayish members) to register to facilitate the integration process. A general curfew has been imposed in Qamishlo and Hassakeh as to not allow any kind of incidents - this is important as tensions are very high and any kind of incident could significantly escalate tensions and risk the annulment of the agreement. Already observable in local social media groups are preparations by Arab residents to ignore the curfew and *greet* the MOI personnel. This bears significant risks for the integration process and the general implementation of the agreement. There is also an intelligence report that a local tribe will seek to carry out provocations in an attempt to disrupt the process and reignite tensions.

The release of the ISIS prisoners and affiliates at Syrian Government controlled Al Hol camp yesterday is largely underreported and misunderstood. Several groups have attacked the Al Hol camp at the same time - releasing dozens of ISIS prisoners and family members. The most reported group/attempt was led by the Egyptian National Abu Musab al Masri. A member of Hayat Tahrir al Sham and formerly associated with Hurras al Din. He was commanding a unit of the 82nd division of the Syrian Government. Yesterday he led a group of 7 STG soldiers to Al Hol camp and cut the fence near the entrance - releasing several ISIS-families from the foreigners section of the camp. ISIS affiliated sources claim that these families were of Egyptian and Chechen descent. At the same time, at 2 other sections of the camp other groups have cut the fence and released an unknown amount of ISIS prisoners and affiliates - this event is barley reported, as these were all Syrian families. During the event - the Syrian forces stationed at the camp intervened and clashes erupted during which Abu Musab was killed. In reaction to this - the Syrian Government has rotated the stationed forces at Al Hol camp and replaced them with new recruits. The Turkish A1 units are also present at the camp. The 2 videos show part of the events - first released by *Cubs of the Caliphate* sources - the ISIS remnants who have build a large smuggling ring around Al Hol to get ISIS prisoners out and goods into the camp. This is a very strong indicator that parts of the Syrian Government (military) are actively collaborating with the ISIS remnants. One of the Soldiers can be heard saying to the ISIS families that they will leave through the gate.
