They were arrested after they returned from #alRukbanCamp east of #Homs to the city of al-Qaryatayn in the Homs countryside, despite a 2020 security settlement sponsored by the Russian Reconciliation Center and the Syrian Red Crescent.

On Monday, the Council of Palmyra and Syrian Badia Tribes published news of the killing of Muayad (45) and Abdul Aziz (26) on Facebook, noting that they were arrested and taken to an unknown destination two months after their return, then transferred to #SednayaPrison.

The #AssadRegime did not hand over their bodies to relatives.

The #AssadRegime and its allies have encircled #alRukbanCamp since 2018, which lies at the border triangle between Jordan, Iraq and #Syria.

They have prevented humanitarian aid, food and medicine from entering the camp, forcing the displaced people living there to return to regime areas.

Last October, following the security settlements, over 120 people returned from al-Rukban to regime-controlled areas because of the camp's poor living conditions.

Reports also came out of Ali al-Shafi's death by torture on October 9, after his arrest upon his return from the camp.

عاد رئيس الوزراء الإٍسرائيلي السابق #بنيامين_نتنياهو إلى الحكم، مع كتلةٍ تضم أربعة أحزاب يمينيّة رئيسية، حازت على 65 مقعداً من أصل 120، 31 منها لحزب #نتنياهو، #حزب_الليكود.
1/5
يضمّ التحالف أيضاً «الصهيونية الدينية» مع 14 مقعداً، و«شاس» مع 12 مقعداً و«يهودوت هتوراه» مع 8 مقاعد، وهي تشكّل غالبية متديّنة متطرّفة للمرّة الأولى داخل #الكنيست الإسرائيلي.
2/5
ستولّد هذه النتيجة حكومة أشد تطرّفاً من حكومة #يائير_لابيد المنتهية ولايته، والذي حاز حزبه على 24 مقعداً، ضمن كتلةٍ «وسطية» حصلت على 55 مقعداً. أمّا مرتس اليساري، فلم يبلغ حتّى عتبة الحصول على مقعد.

The central bank increased its foreign-currency reserves by nearly $650 million in less than 6 weeks by buying these dollars from the market.
#Lebanon #EconomicCollapse
./1
#BDL’s bi-monthly balance sheet shows that its reserves increased to $10.27 billion, compared to $9.62 billion in mid-September.

تمكّن #مصرف_لبنان من زيادة احتياطاته بالعملات الأجنبية بنحو 650 مليون دولار أميركي خلال فترة لا تتجاوز الشهر والنصف، من خلال شراء هذه الدولارات من السوق.
./1 Image
فقد أظهرت ميزانيّة #مصرف_لبنان نصف الشهرية ارتفاع احتياطاته إلى حدّ الـ10.27 مليار دولار، مقارنةً بـ9.62 مليار دولار في منتصف شهر أيلول.
./2
لكن قيام المصرف المركزي بهذه الخطوة استدعى طبع الليرات لشراء هذه الدولارات، إلى حدّ ارتفاع قيمة النقد المتداول ورقيّاً بالليرة في السوق من 45.1 ألف مليار ليرة في منتصف أيلول إلى 75.05 ألف مليار ليرة اليوم، ما يعني أن حجم هذا النقد ارتفع بـ1.66 مرّة خلال شهر ونصف.

«قضى علاء السنوات العشر الأخيرة، أي ربع حياته، في السجن، بسبب كلماتٍ كتبها. كحائزين على جائزة نوبل، نؤمن بقدرة الكلمات على تغيير العالم، وبالدفاع عن هذه الكلمات إذا ما أردنا حقاً بناء مستقبل أكثر استدامة وعدالة».
