Ahrar al Sham Islamic movement has no relation or links with the newly announced body, The Committee for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, in the northern city of Aleppo, the communication officer told Zaman al Wasl.
Social media activists circulated on Saturday a video statement issued by number of armed factions announcing the establishment of a committee for 'Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice', a clause inspired by a verse in the Holy Quran.
The Committee which informally referred to as Hai’a, is a copy of the Saudi example in employing "religious police to enforce Sharia Law within that Islamic nation.
Yaser al-Taei, Ahrar's communication officer said not only his rebel group but other factions who were mentioned in the statement as founders have no relation with this committee.
Activists denounced the committee, saying it will impose more restrictions on civilians' life who are already suffering suffocation siege by the Syrian regime.
