Assad’s regime allied media sources indicated that Bashar al-Assad directed that security IDs be taken back from those who have obtained them from security branches.
Al-Bahloliyya News Facebook page reported that 173 security IDs were reclaimed from some people who obtained them after bribing the intelligence in Damascus to evade serving in the regime’s army, adding that those were sent to fight on the Syrian Desert front.
However, activists within Damascus denied the news, because such IDs are fundamental to the regime. They also clarified that there are thousands of military officers’ sons and relatives who use such IDs as an exemption from the military service and due to many other benefits.
It is noteworthy that a number of wealthy people also bought such IDs to avoid being inspected at the army checkpoints, put themselves above the law, and terrorize Syrians.
