BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:00 P.M.) - For the second day in a row, Kurdish Asayish forces arrested the candidates for the local government election in Qamishli, local activists reported from the city.
According to the local activists, Asayish forces began arresting candidates for this government election on Sunday.
These candidates are still reportedly being held by the Asayish forces, despite protests from the government officials in Qamishli.
The reason of these arrests by the Asayish forces is still unknown; however, it is very likely due to their vendetta against the Syrian government.
Despite the recent meetings between the Syrian government and US-backed Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), tensions between the two entities are still apparent in Hasakah and Qamishli.
