A local delegation representing the Reconciliation committees in western Damascus suburbs held a meeting last week with Bashar al-Assad’s security adviser and the head of the National Security Bureau, seeking to uncover the fate of detainees and to implement the promises of reconciliation deals, Zaman al-Wasl reported.
Activist Ahmed al-Ma’adhamani said the meeting was held at the request of Maj. Gen Ali Mamlouk, in the presence of Colonel Yasser Salhab, from the Fourth Armored Division that controls the capital's western suburbs, according to Zaman al-Wasl.
One of the delegates from Muadamiyat Al-Sham town, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Mamlouk had warned the participants against any revolt acts or rebel activity against the regime. The warnings came as a result of mural writings against the head of the regime, Bashar al-Assad, which appeared on the border of the city about ten days ago, demanding the release of detainees.
Mamlouk urged the delegations to stand by the regime in the fight against those who still carry revolutionary thought by writing security reports for them to be prosecuted and dealt with by the regime.
The regime forces continue to carry out arrest campaigns against Muadamiyat al-Sham. The number of prisoners of the city reached about 900, including engineers and university students who have been arrested for their involvement in revolutionary activities against the regime.
The Reconciliation committee of the city touched upon the issue of the detainees during its meeting with Mamluk. However, the latter told the representatives of the city who attended the meeting that its people should forget about the detainees because the regime does not have any to be released, as most of them died inside the prison, and this file is not subject to debate because its broad political scope.
