Sabri Mirza was arrested by local police and handed over to Political Security forces on 13 June. After being held in his home town, Qamishly, until 15 June, he was taken to Damascus, the capital, where he was held incommunicado. From there, he was transported to Dayr al-Zor, northern Syria, for a day and finally moved to a prison in al-Hasakah, also in northern Syria. He was released on 23 June and is now reunited with his family but is required to check in at a local police station every two weeks. In addition, his long-standing travel ban was renewed.
