NEWS CENTER – Hawar News Agency (ANHA) has published an interview with female IS supporters who tried to escape from Holê camp, where family members of IS gangs are held. On May 20, the internal security forces of north-eastern Syria arrested the seven people (including women and children) of Moroccan and Russian origin who tried to flee from Holê camp to the occupied areas in Minbic.
The information given by IS supporter Fatîma Zehra Tilêwan (from Morocco) during the interview makes it clear that they gave $18,000 to smugglers to be smuggled out of the camp to Turkey. They tried to leave the camp in a garbage truck and passed through the towns of Reqqa and Hesekê and hid near a camp at Reqqa until they were taken to Minbic where they were uncovered by the internal security forces. Their destination was Serêkaniyê, from where they would cross into Turkey. The group consisted of seven women and children from Morocco and Russia.
Another Moroccan and IS supporter, Sara Al-Mehrîr, who was part of the uncovered group, made it clear that their destination was the occupied region of Idlib. She also stated that the Turkish aid organization IHH (İnsani Yardım Vakfı, Humanitarian Relief Foundation), an NGO founded in Istanbul in 1992 and active in more than 100 countries in the fields of humanitarian aid, human rights and humanitarian diplomacy, helped the group from the camp to find the smugglers and raise money so that they could leave the camp. The NGO helped the IS supporters with money, contacts and information to leave the camp of the internal security forces of northeastern Syria and enter the areas occupied by IS and Turkey.
