The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) carried out a campaign of arrests against civilians,including women in Manbij, on Wednesday 22nd of August.
The SDF forces arrested 3 women and a man in the city centre of Manbij at the eastern countryside of Aleppo, without telling the reason of their arrest till this moment, Baladi News correspondent reported.
On the other hand, the SDF, in exchange for money, released 20 members of the Deash organisation, who were arrested a month ago, Baladi correspondent added.
It should be noted that the SDF arrested a group of civilians last week following their arrival from Turkey to celebrate Eid al-Adha in Manbij, also arrested 3 men near the national hospital of Manbij on charge of filming a military patrol passing beside them.
The Syrian Democratic Forces, backed by the International Coalition troops, took control over Manbij and its countryside east of Aleppo in 2016, after expelling the IS organisation from these areas.
