In a statement on Monday, the Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said that their forces have been coordinating with the International Coalition to transfer ISIS detainees held at “Al-Aqtan” Prison in the city of Raqqa to safe locations for the past three days.
However, despite repeated promises, the Coalition has so far taken no practical steps in this regard, the SDF noted.
The statement pointed out that: “During the ongoing clashes with Damascus-affiliated factions, which are launching attacks on the prison, our forces have continued to carry out their duty to protect the prison and prevent a breakdown of security. As of the time of issuing this statement, these clashes have resulted in the martyrdom of 9 of our fighters and the injury of 20 others.”
Clashes are still ongoing at this time, amid extremely dangerous security conditions, the SDF added.
