Media reports said that the AlFoua deal has been put into effect and that pro-government militants and their families have been evacuated from AlFoua and Kafria, north of Syria. At the same time, the first batch of detainees, among them Palestinian refugee Issa Yehya Abu Zeid, from Yarmouk Camp, reached Idlib after they were released from Syrian government lock-ups.
According to activists, panic-stricken Abu Zeid appeared in a live footage aired on Orient TV Channel after he was unshackled in Idlib as part of the newly-released batch.
Abu Zeid said that prior to his arrest he had taken shelter in AlQuneitira, before he was kidnapped from AlTadhamun neighborhood.
Abu Zeid had reportedly been subjected to harsh torture and heavy beating by government troops stationed in Nisreen Street on allegations of being affiliated with ISIS militias. He was kidnapped from Yarmouk Camp and transferred to AlTadhamun neighborhood shortly after the government forces rolled into the camp.
80% of detainees slated to be freed as part of the new deal were arrested by the government forces during the past three months. 10% were arrested more than one year ago.
1,681 Palestinian refugees have been enduring unknown fates in Syrian government penitentiaries, according to AGPS data.
