DO NOT DONATE TO HUMAN APPEAL THIS RAMADAN youtu.be/fr4EM9jT4Hk?si=CE2J…

Alhumdullilah yesterday the family of brother Bilal Abdul Kareem received a voice message from inside prison after nearly 2 months since he was taken and arrested from the streets of the town he lives in. BUT a short, monitored message does not replace due process. His family still has no clear charges, no legal explanation, and no timeline. Under any fair legal system, a person has the right to know why they are detained, to communicate freely, and to have their case handled with transparency. We are not asking for special treatment, only for the basic standards of law to be respected. If there is a case, make it clear. If there are charges, present them. Silence and uncertainty are not justice. We call on the relevant authorities to clarify Bilal Abdul Kareem’s legal status, guarantee his rights, and allow transparency for his family and the public.

Our reporter Nail Qaddah reports from the gates of the infamous Al-Hol prison camp in northeastern Syria. As power shifts between the new Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) amid widespread fighting, instability has spread. During the chaos, SDF forces reportedly fled some positions, leaving the fate of detainees unclear. Smaller camps saw escapes, while Al-Hol has now been secured by the new government. Yet the future remains uncertain. Many detainees are foreign nationals, including Shamima Begum. Will they be released? Repatriated? Or detained indefinitely? What should happen next? @liveupdatesfromsyria

Thousands of residents of Idlib have gathered at the Seven Seas Square to receive the procession of the martyrs of Idlib who were martyred in the recent battles in the East of Syria. The martyrs’ procession will tour the streets and squares of Idlib governorate, then depart to deliver the bodies of the martyrs to their hometowns in official ceremonies. @liveupdatesfromsyria

An emotional message from the children of Bilal Abdul Kareem. Families deserve answers, and justice should never be delayed. Holding someone without transparency, due process, or communication with their family is neither just nor acceptable. Silence in the face of lawful concern only deepens the harm being caused to innocent children and loved ones. May Allah return him to his family soon. Ameen #FreeBilalAbdulKareem

Syrian internal security forces surrounded the “French camp” near Harem after reports of an abducted 11-year-old French girl. The compound is home to French muhajireen families and foreign fighters led by Omar Omsen. Authorities claim the raid aimed to recover the child, while Omsen’s group denies the allegations, describing the operation as politically motivated. Residents spoke of fear and confusion as drones, tanks, and snipers encircled the area. Uzbek fighters later arrived to assist those inside, and mediation eventually reduced the clashes. @LiveUpdateSyria
