'Haquna'
Our-Right movement continues its protest for the third day in al-Raqqa with
participation of tens of families demanding release the detainees from chambers
of Islamic Groups, Jabhat al-Nusra and the ''Islamic State of Iraq and cham''.
Since rebels seized the capital of Raqqa
province in northern Syria, they have posted guards at state buildings,
returned bread prices to pre-war levels and opened a hotline that residents can
phone to report security issues but that ruling style didn't live forever after
many abuses of freedoms and crimes were committed by Islamic group controlling
the city.
Since months ago, al-Raqq was the first major
Syrian city to fall entirely under rebel control, Raqqa was shaping up to be
the best test case yet for how opposition fighters will administer territory
amid Western concerns over who will fill the vacuum if President Bashar Assad
is ousted. While the city's new rulers try to govern, they are struggling with
the same divisions that have hampered the rebel movement's effectiveness
throughout Syria's civil war, according to AP.
At the same time, they have killed captured
security forces in public squares and driven their dead bodies through the
streets. The most powerful rebel brigades in the city are extremist Muslims and
include Jabhat al-Nusra, which the U.S. government says is linked to al-Qaida.
Since then, the city's rebels have been
bedeviled by the same problems that have hindered them elsewhere. Most
residents fled during the fighting and have stayed away, fearing the regime
attacks that often follow rebel takeovers.
The city currently has two local councils,
each run by lawyers who don't like each other, The city still has about 80 rebel
groups which make coordination difficult.
Al Nusrah whipping
a man over adultery charges
To be lashed by a whip on back, means that
you are implementing Sharia as Salafist group has alleged in al-Tabqa city,
affiliated with Raqqa Province, the same city of the provoking YouTube videos
recently, where the province is under control of Islamic groups that aim to found an Islamic State.
"The
Rally of Ahrar al-Tabqa'' denounced this act, revealing about the misery
situation has hit the city since falling down by the Islamic Battalions.
"My fiancée and I were sitting in
the public park of the city at ten o'clock in the morning, when we were
arrested by militants of 'Hudhaifah bin Aleman' battalion- the name belongs to
Prominent Islamic figure for Sunnis-
accompanied by their commander 'Musa Hassan.'
The young man added: "my fiancée had
released after investigating her, they accused me of 'Getting started of
adultery, after that they hit me by whip for uncountable lashes without
allowing me to speak."
In relevant event, the Kurdish women of
Amouda city, north east Syria; have protested in solidarity with the detainees
in the PYD prisons.
The Kurdish party that well-known by
supporting Assad's regime has accused of arresting many Kurdish activists for
their solid position with the revolution.
The Kurdish party is a member of the National
Coordination Committee for Democratic Change. Although it is critical of the
Assad government, the PYD has been accused by the Syrian opposition of
collaboration with the Ba'athist regime, acting as enforcers for Assad in
Kurdish areas, silencing critics such as Mashaal Tammo.
Certain Kurdish opposition figures have even
claimed that the Syrian Army has handed over control of certain parts of
northeastern Syria to the PYD, leading to disputes and clashes between the PYD,
the KNC, and the Syrian National Council.
The PYD has accused the SNC as acting as Turkey's henchmen, and due to a
long running dispute between the PKK and the KDP, it is also at odds with the
KDP supported Kurdish National Council.
PYD is a Syrian Kurdish political party established in 2003 by Kurdish nationalists in northern Syria. The party is affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is listed and considered a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States, the European Union and NATO.
