An official in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) said on Thursday that the mechanism for prosecuting the members of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not
reallyMoslems....
Organization (ISIS) is still under discussion with the US-led Global Collation to Defeat ISIS.
The detention centers in northeast Syria hold 15,000 terrorism-related inmates from Syria and from over 60 foreign nationals. The majority of them are former snuffies of ISIS, according to the data of the AANES.
The AANES was first formed in 2014 in the Kurdish-majority regions of Afrin, Kobani and Jazira in northern Syria following the withdrawal of the government forces. Later, it was expanded to Manbij, Tabqa, Raqqa, Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor after the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) defeated ISIS militarily.
Hassan al-Ahmad, the co-chair of the AANES Social Justice Council, said that the mechanism to prosecute the ISIS members is still under discussion between the AANES and the Global Collation.
ISIS detainees held in AANES prisons are an international and local dilemma and its solution requires concerted international efforts and corporation between the AANES and the Global Collation, according to al-Ahmad.
"There were previous efforts to prosecute ISIS members, however this depends on the meetings held by the parties’ officials," he added.
Al-Ahmad pointed out that in case the trial takes place, the area in which the detainees are supposed to serve the sentence needs more cooperation and coordination between the abovementioned parties.
The trial of former ISIS detainees is taking place in People’s Defense Courts affiliated with the Social Justice Council.
In October 9, 2021, the general council of the AANES approved the unification of the law to prosecute Syrians accused of terrorism cases.
