HTS uses extreme violence against idlib’s demonstrations opposing the opening of commercial crossing
2020-05-01
[SYRIAHR] The Syrian Observatory has monitored a night demonstration in the city of Idlib, denouncing the practices of Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
against the demonstrators protesting the opening of the commercial crossing with regime-controlled areas, in the village of Miznaz in western Aleppo countryside near the administrative border with Idlib province.

Meanwhile,
...back at the abandoned silver mine, a triangular dorsal fin appeared in the water. Then another...
security officials of HTS tried to disperse a demonstration near the "Clock" square using different ways and firing live bullets at the demonstrators.

Similar protests have took place in Kafr Takhareem city in western countryside of Idlib, amid widespread popular discontent.

On the other hand, activists have called for demonstrations and sit-ins in Idlib province under the slogan "No to opening the crossings... For the deaders for dignity."

SOHR sources have that a civilian died of injuries sustained, after being shot today by the security forces of Hayyat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), during participation in protests against the opening of a crossing with the regime.

Syrian Observatory activists reported earlier this after that tens of residents from Maarrat al-Na’ssan town and countryside gathered on the road to Miznaz town in the western countryside of Aleppo, blocking the way of trucks heading to the commercial crossing. Whil HTS security forces tried to disperse them using the same violent methods that the regime was using at the beginning of the Syrian revolution while repressing peaceful demonstrations.

Ottoman Turkish drones had dropped leaflets over several areas in rural Idlib, indirectly inciting citizens against an armed faction, calling on them not to believe the lies of those who are upset by stability, and calling on the people to help the Ottoman Turkish army to secure peace and calm in the region.
