Ahmad al-Ayyadah al-Dayeh, a Sunni man from the town of Harmoushiyah in Deir ez-Zor's western countryside, has died in a detention facility run by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham's (HTS) General Security branch. He was arrested at his home 25 days ago without formal charges or a judicial hearing and reportedly died just one day later. His family was only informed of his death today, with the body showing severe marks on his back and signs of torture on his left arm. The incident has renewed accusations that HTS is conducting abductions and killings of Sunnis under false pretenses.
