REPORT: Freed Syrian female detainees remain in Syria, deal closed with release of 61 prisoners

Sources told LBCI on Thursday that reports stating that the freed Syrian female prisoners entered Lebanese territories are false.

The same sources noted that the number of Syrian prisoners released within the framework of the three-way prisoner exchange deal is 61 prisoners, not 128, stressing that all of them remained inside Syria.

In this context, Syrian female activist Sima Nassar stressed on Wednesday and Thursday 64 female prisoners were released from Adra jail according to the deal.

Nassar told LBCI that the Syrian regime vowed to release a total of 128 detainees by the end of the week.

Syrian authorities have released a total of 61 women detainees, an activist group said Thursday, the latest in a three-way prisoner exchange that was one of the more ambitious negotiated deals in Syria’s civil war in which rival factions remain largely opposed to any bartered peace.

The release was part of a complicated hostage swap last week brokered by Qatar and the Palestinian Authority that saw Syrian rebels free nine Lebanese Shiite pilgrims, while Lebanese gunmen simultaneously released two Turkish pilots. Lebanese officials have said a third part of the deal called for the Syrian government to free a number of women detainees to meet the rebels' demands.
