Dozens of Palestinians and Syrians sheltered in AlMuzeireeb town, in the southern Syrian province of Deraa, have joined a vigil held in protest of the blockade imposed by the Syrian security forces and their Russian allies around Deraa city, after a number of residents refused Russian demands to return their private weapons.
The residents lifted banners reading “hands off Deraa”.
Over recent days, Syrian security forces have tightened military grip around Deraa and its outskirts, south of Syria.
Local sources told AGPS that all access roads to the city centre have been blocked except for the Sajneh road, where three military checkpoints have been pitched.
Palestinian refugees have expressed concerns over a new wave of forced military conscription and arbitrary manhunts in the area.
