Syrian forces took Raqqa prison from Kurds, released 126 minors in negotiated transfer.
Syrian government forces took control of Al-Aqtan prison in Raqqa province from Kurdish-led SDF fighters on January 24, 2026, releasing 126 minors under 18, according to state media.
The transfer followed a negotiated agreement and a four-day ceasefire extended by 15 days, allowing SDF forces to relocate to Ain al-Arab.
Footage showed children being welcomed by crowds, with officials condemning the detention of minors as a humanitarian violation.
The Syrian Interior Ministry began reviewing detainee files, and the Justice Ministry published names of remaining inmates to help families.
The move marks a significant shift in power as Damascus reasserts control over former SDF-held areas, including Raqqa and Manbij.
