Syria sets up judicial committees to review Raqqa prison inmates
The Justice Ministry confirmed that the facility has been formally handed over to state security authorities after SDF forces exited, marking a step toward restoring state control and reestablishing institutions under the rule of law. Authorities are taking measures to ensure the safety, humanitarian needs, and legal rights of all detainees, including access to food, water, and medical care, in line with Syrian law.
The ministry said the newly formed judicial committees will carefully review the legal files of every inmate and aim to resolve cases promptly through proper legal procedures. Officials stressed that the process will be conducted with “full responsibility and transparency,” assuring families that prisoners’ rights will be safeguarded.
Earlier, the Interior Ministry took over the prison and said corrections authorities began a thorough review of detainees’ personal and judicial records to ensure compliance with the law.
The handover followed the transfer of roughly 800 SDF members who had been managing the prison, after five days of negotiations with the government, according to reports.
