(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian regime military security have arrested 23 young man Sunday to serve in mandatory and reserve army service via temporary checkpoints in Latakia.
“I escaped miraculously. I saw a security car parked on the entrance of our neighborhood in al-Slaybe coincidentally. I moved away and asked one of the shopkeepers on phone of the reason of why the car is there. He told me it is a security patrol to arrest young men under age of 35.
They put the young men in a green bus accompanying the car,” young man Waleed. T. descried how he escaped security which wanted to take him to reserve army.
He told Zaman al-Wasl that he did not leave the place he is residing in, not his house, since two months because he is wanted for reserve army. They took 5 young men from our neighborhood.
It was a scary day for the young men who remained in Latakia. According to media activist Mohamed al-Sahili, temporary checkpoints were distributed in al-Martaqla, al-Slaybe, and Bustan al-Hamami neighborhoods. Also, a security patrol arrest two young men on the southern corniche in the same day.
Latakia residents were used to this type of temporary checkpoints arresting those who wanted for service and wanted security speaking. The resident used to be careful when they see the checkpoints, but the checkpoints were absent for two months which let young men be assured, so they started going out. Eventually, 20 young men were arrested as they were out.
Since start of 2016, the regime launched a fierce campaign to track down young men to recruit them in the army due to lack in the army. Not only Sunnis escape the army, but also Alwaites with the increased of the number killed in their ranks.
