The Syrian government is preparing to take control of the YPG-run prisons, with more detainees released over the weekend and Monday.
According to local officials, several waves of releases have been carried out in recent weeks in detention facilities, marking progress in implementing the Jan. 29 agreement with the central authorities in Damascus.
In total, nearly 1,500 detainees have been released in four successive waves, Ahmed al-Hilali, spokesperson for the Syrian presidential team, said Monday in an interview with Al-Ikhbariya TV.
He added that around 500 individuals remain in detention, noting that their cases will be reviewed in the near future.
According to al-Hilali, the issue is being addressed primarily from a humanitarian perspective, while also forming part of a broader process aimed at gradually integrating administrative and security structures controlled by the YPG into the Syrian state.
