Homs: Female Detainees of al-Waer Freed over Electricity Deal
 [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Zaman al-Wasl learnt that civil, revolutionary and military actors in Homs’ besieged northern countryside reached an agreement with the regime in recent days. The agreement dictates that the regime can repair and restore the international electrical power lines, known as 400 Kv line which connect southern Syria to northern Syria and passes through several villages in Homs’ north eastern countryside (al-Saan- Ezz al-Din). In return, the regime will release all female detainees from the areas of the besieged countryside and al-Waer neighborhood. Abu Ahmad Wali, who attended three of the negotiation meetings, said to Zaman al-Wasl that they agreed with the regime for it to release all the female detainees, give electricity to most of the villages in the besieged countryside for the following three years, allow UN aid to enter the besieged countryside without hindrance, and both sides will stop bombing civilians. News of the agreement come after the Russian and Turkish announcement of a complete ceasefire in Syria. Wali clarified that the committee demanded the regime release 32 female detainees from the al-Waer neighborhood and the villages, towns and cities of the northern countryside.
