Zaman al-Wasl obtained a Syrian security cable, classified "Top Secret," dated June 17, 2014, issued by the General Secretariat of National Defense - Information Office. The cable reveals details regarding the referral of a number of detainees to the Military Field Court and documents the names of three detainees who died in detention centers run by the former regime.
The document, addressed to the "Major General Commander of the Military Police," reveals a request for approval to refer seven detainees to the Military Field Court.
This court, established by special decree, is considered a swift tool for adjudicating state security cases and often issues non-appealable verdicts, most of which are death sentences.
The detainees' birthplaces varied across different Syrian governorates, indicating the comprehensive nature of the arrest campaigns at that time. Among the names requested for referral are: Issam Suleiman (Latakia), Fadhil Al-Shabli (Inkhel), Ali Abdullah (Kafr Kila), Mizr Qaidi (Damascus), Muhannad Al-Hafyan (Idlib), Farouk Al-Mutlaq (Raqqa), and Saleh Ibrahim (Al-Sharida Al-Gharbiya).
