The activist Yahya Sharbaji, born 1979, was detained this morning in the city of Daraya in an ambush that was set up by security forces. They exploited his family ties, as they had detained his brother Maan Sharbaji before and forced him to call his brother and ask him to come rescue him, claiming he had been shot in his foot during a raid of his home. The injury could not yet be confirmed. As Yahya was taken to his brother’s house by his friend Ghiath Matar, security forces emerged from hiding, chasing the activists before abducting them. It is well known that Yahya Sharbaji is one of the most prominent young acitivsts that advocates a commitment to the peaceful struggle of the Syrian revolution and contributed to many initiatives to ensure the peaceful nature of the movement and the unity of Syrians. For that, he gave flowers and water to soldiers and members of the security forces during demonstrations.
