Damascus reveals behind-the-scenes details of the negotiations: The prisons file is at the forefront of talks with the SDF

Damascus, Syria – The Syrian Ministry of Interior announced that the prison file was one of the most prominent and important topics of negotiation with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), within the framework of efforts to reorganize security and administrative conditions in the northern and eastern regions of the country.

The Ministry confirmed that the talks addressed the conditions of detainees and prison management mechanisms. In addition, means of joint coordination were discussed to ensure stability and prevent any security chaos that might arise from this complex issue.

It noted that the prison issue presents a significant challenge due to its entanglement with other issues. These include detained foreign fighters and members of extremist organizations. There are also the legal and humanitarian aspects related to detention conditions.

Observers believe that placing this file at the forefront of negotiations reflects a growing awareness of its sensitivity. This is especially true given concerns about the resurgence of extremist groups if the issue is not handled carefully and with close coordination.

These statements come within the context of broader moves aimed at rebuilding trust between the various parties. They also aim to open channels of understanding that could pave the way for more comprehensive settlements in the next phase.
