Kurdish-led forces free four activists in Raqqa

(Zaman Al Wasl- The Kurdish-led forces on Monday have released four activists in eastern Raqqa province after a month of arbitrary arrest, local monitoring group reported.

Salah al-Katea, Anas al-Abbo, Iyas al-Abbo and Khalid al-Salama were detained by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and held in an American air base in Ayn al-Arab town east of Aleppo city, according to the Raqqa Observatory for Human Rights. 

  The local rights group demanded the SDF to release two more activists, Hassan Qassab and Ahmed al-Hashloum, who were detained three weeks ago. 

According to the CNN, the SDF consists of about 35,000 personnel, including Kurdish and Arab fighters. Backed by thousands of US airstrikes and military advisers, the group played the lead role in driving ISIS from cities and towns across Syria, a campaign that saw ISIS lose its last territorial holdings in October 2017.
