IS issues an order to release 29 Assyrians in Tal Tamer
An Assyrian commander informed SOHR that the Sharia Court of Islamic State in the countryside of Tal Tamer issued an order for the release of 29 Assyrian citizens. The commander confirmed to SOHR that they communicated with IS through mediation with IS jurists who informed us that the kidnapped Assyrians of the other villages will be brought in front of the Sharia courts to decide on their verdict.
It is worth mention that IS kidnapped 220 Assyrians in February 23, during the attack launched by IS on the villages around the town of Tal Tamer in the province of al- Hasakah.
