An army of Syrian rebels reportedly paraded prisoners around in cages and then placed the cages strategically about their Damascus suburb in an effort to ward off Syrian and Russian airstrikes. The prisoners inside the cages include regime officers, soldiers and their families captured by Jaysh al Islam (Army of Islam), reported the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. After parading the prisoners around and allowing onlookers to film the process and interview the prisoners, Jaysh al Islam “spread cages over several areas and squares” nearby, reported SOHR.
