|| Situation in the City and Countryside ||
¤ Hama City:
As is the case every Friday, security forces were deployed throughout the city to prevent the people from protesting.
Shabiha and security forces were deployed on the Hnaizal and Habhab buildings across from Othman al-Horani High School in Tareeq Halab neighborhood. They surrounded Othman ibn Affan Mosque and al-Tawheed Mosque so that people could not emerge in protest.
Regime forces launched a campaign of raids in the area of al-Faraya, al-Barazeya and Bab al-Balad at 7 o'clock this morning. They came in buses and armored vehicles and arrested about 40 people, many of whom were beaten. A number of shops and houses were looted by regime forces, and the people could not pray Friday prayer at the neighborhood's mosques.
Most mosques in al-Qusour neighborhood were surrounded by security forces today:
Abdulrahman ibn Awf Mosque: a pick-up truck and a white Range - no reports of arrests
Al-Rahma Mosque: an armored vehicle, security forces stood at the entrance to the mosque
Talhat al-Khair Mosque: A Toyota vehicle and an armored vehicle were stationed at the mosque entrance
Residents continue to suffer from the lack of water.
In al-Faraya neighborhood, a large number of regime forces and shabiha in three trucks, two armored vehicles, and pick-up trucks with mounted machine guns raided the neighborhood this morning. They arrested about 40 people of different ages, and rounded them up at al-Thawra School. They also looted a number of houses and shops and humiliated residents. The security forces prevented people from praying Friday prayer at the mosques in the neighborhood, including Saad ibn Muaz Mosque.
Seventeen of the detainees were released about 2.5 hours after their arrested. These are the names of the detainees we have documented so far:
1. Mut'eb Judou'
2. Hamdo Mut'eb Judou'
3. Saddam Mut'eb Judou'
4. Mehdi Mut'eb Judou'
5. Khaled Ziad al-Judou'
6. Eyad Adnan Murad
7. Ma'moun Hesham al-Qammaz
8. Mos'aab Ramdoun
We did not receive the rest of the names. Security forces also shot at a man who was on the roof of his house, wounding him in the hip. He was taken to the National Hospital, which is a base for shabiha. His brother was arrested. We note that young men of military age were being sought out.
Though the people of al-Faraya have been holding anti-regime demonstrations since the start of the revolution, they were unable to do so because of today's raid.
