(Zaman Al Wasl)- The fate of 7350 detainees from the besieged al-Waer neighborhood in Homs is still unknown as the Syrian regime refuses to release them in binding to a U.N.-brokered deal reached last December.
The neighborhood's negotiations committee said regime is trying escape their demand and no release expected in the foreseeable future, source told Zaman al-Wasl.
Few days ago people of al-Waer went to street demanding their relative freedom. Regime said their fate will be known in 15 days in new procrastination round, according to the source.
On December 10, 300 fighters together with 400 members of their families, left al-Waer, the last rebel-held area of Homs as part of a rare local ceasefire deal negotiated between the opposition and the government.
The fighters and their families were being moved to rebel-held areas of the northwest near the Turkish border.
