According to the sources, “al-Nuzili was transferred to the control center of the coastal security sector for these forces, and after several hours, the journalist was handed over to another security force that transferred him to a detention facility called ‘al-Qanuniyah’ in al-Khukha district.”

Numerous violations have been previously documented in areas under their control, following criticism and opinions expressed by activists against these forces and their leadership.
