Press Release
The Turkish Regime Bares its Fangs, Sending its Pawns and Tools to Abduct Dawah Carriers and the Ummah's Revolutionaries to Impose Reconciliation and Normalization!
(Translated)

With no shame before Allah, His servants, or the sacrifices of the revolutionaries and the blood of over a million martyrs, the military police in Afrin committed a new crime against the revolution and the revolutionaries on 18/09/2024. They abducted more than 20 Shabab from Hizb utTahrir and other demonstrators, following their participation in a large evening protest in support of the honorable women, demanding the opening of battlefronts, liberation battles, and rejecting the opening of normalization crossings with the regime of barrels and chemicals. The protest also called for ending Turkish guardianship over the revolution and restoring military decision-making from its usurpers, the faction leaders with external ties.

The Turkish regime's lackeys and tools did not stop there. On Thursday, 19/09/2024, they dispersed a peaceful protest calling for the release of the detainees, using live ammunition and tear gas as if they were in a war zone. This resulted in cases of suffocation, direct head injuries, and the arrest of eight more Hizb utTahrir members. This brutal response mirrors the methods of the criminal regime, seemingly a message from Turkey that it will force reconciliation with the tyrant Assad and normalize relations with him by force, though they will fail miserably.

As a result of the massive public pressure exerted by the people in defense of the oppressed and to stop the hand of the oppressor, the military police were forced to release most of the Shabab of HizbutTahrir and the free individuals who had been arrested alongside them. As of the writing of this statement, two individuals remain in the military police prisons in Afrin, one of whom is from HizbutTahrir.

This crime comes amidst Turkey's frantic attempts to accelerate the train of surrender, reconciliation, and normalization with the regime of barrels and chemicals. Erdogan's statements, his ministers, and officials' movements are clear evidence of this, with Erdogan recently expressing his desire to meet Bashar Assad.

For all of this, we call on the free people and revolutionaries of the Ummah to be swift in joining the sincere ones, to stop the hands of the oppressive conspirators who are toying with the Ummah's revolution. We urge them to reclaim political and military decision-making, take the lead, and entrust matters to the rightful people before it's too late, so that we do not regret it when regret is of no use.

In conclusion, those who revolted against a mighty tyrant will not be defeated by small pharaohs covered in disgrace and shame. The harm, aggression, and ongoing criminality faced by the advocates of the cause and the Ummah's people will only increase their resolve and determination to uproot oppression, remove the oppressors, and eradicate their criminal methods. They will continue to march with guidance and insight behind a conscious and sincere political leadership that carries a project for our collective salvation. This leadership will outline a clear roadmap for reclaiming control of the revolution from its usurpers, opening fronts of honor and liberation battles to bring down the criminal regime in its stronghold, end its era of tyranny and corruption, and crown our people's sacrifices with the rule of Islam and its Dawlat Al-Khilafah (Caliphate State).

Yes, the Ummah's revolution will continue until its full objectives are achieved, Allah willing, no matter the cost. The people of ash-Sham have proven themselves to be the people of perseverance and sacrifice.

Falsehood is defeated, and truth is victorious.
