Syria Liberates 126 Imprisoned Minors from Former YPG Prison
(MENAFN) Syrian security personnel in Raqqa province's northeastern region liberated 126 imprisoned minors from a detention facility previously operated by the terrorist organization YPG/SDF, a Syrian broadcaster announced Saturday.
Citing an unidentified security official, the broadcaster reported: "Internal security released 126 prisoners from Al-Aqtan prison in Raqqa, all of them under 18."
Information Minister Hamza al-Mustafa confirmed via US social media platform X that video documentation published by a Syrian news agency verified the detainees' freedom.
"These children are not merely detainees; they are sons and daughters whose childhoods were stolen. They should have been in schools and playgrounds, not behind prison walls. Every face among them carries a story of fear, separation, and lost innocence," he added.
Al-Mustafa emphasized that "there is no slogan, justification, or security reason that can explain the presence of a child in a prison cell," declaring their situation wounds humanity's collective conscience.
Presidential spokesman Ahmed Muaffaq Zaidan characterized the imprisonment on X as a "full-fledged scandal carried out by gangs outside the bounds of time and place."
Friday saw the Justice Ministry declare its official assumption of Al-Aqtan prison operations following SDF forces' departure, marking progress in extending governmental authority and reinstating institutions under legal frameworks. The Interior Ministry simultaneously initiated examination of prisoner documentation.
The Syrian Army disclosed Friday that military units commenced relocating SDF personnel from Al-Aqtan prison and adjacent areas in Raqqa toward Ayn al-Arab city, positioned east of Aleppo, identifying this as the opening phase of executing the January 18 accord enabling governmental facility acquisition.
