Residents of Al-Suqaylabiyah in the Hama countryside held a sit-in this evening to protest the referral of several citizens to military court, including one man who sustained a head injury during the recent violence. They expressed their discontent with the release of individuals whom the protesters accuse of assault.

The protesters demanded the release of the detainees, accountability for all those involved in the incident, and a transparent investigation to uncover the circumstances. They emphasized the need to avoid holding the victims responsible for what happened.

Yesterday, the city witnessed security tensions following a dispute that escalated into gunfire and the throwing of a hand grenade, resulting in injuries to a number of people. This was followed by a campaign of arrests targeting a number of the city's residents.
