DAMASCUS, Sept 10 (NNN-SANA) – Daesh inmates staged a riot yesterday, inside a prison run by Kurdish forces, in Syria’s north-eastern province of Hasakah, a war monitor reported.
In the riot that broke out after midnight, the inmates destroyed a wall in Ghweiran prison and reached the yard of the facility, demanding permission for family visits and fair trials, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Kurdish security forces, laid siege to the prison, while warplanes of the U.S.-led coalition hovered over the prison, the Britain-based watchdog said.
It is the second such riot in Ghweiran prison since July.
On July 30, 16 Daesh inmates staged a riot in the prison and were shot dead by the Kurdish security forces.
The Observatory said, Ghweiran prison houses thousands of foreign Daesh members detained by the SDF.
