A source informed North Press that HTS handed over three detainees — Abu Hafs al-Baljiki, Abu Fatima al-Faransi, and Abu Jaafar al-Magharbi — to the Ottoman Turkish intelligence after spending two years in HTS’ prisons on charges of espionage.

The source added that the handover was done under the supervision of Abu Maria al-Qahtani, the head of HTS’ General Security Apparatus. However,

 there is no further information regarding the fate of the detainees after their handover to Ottoman Turkish authorities.

HTS continues to hand over imported muscle to Ottoman Turkish intelligence. In August alone, the group handed over six foreign detainees to the Ottoman Turkish side, according to the same source.
