Over the past few days, several media outlets have circulated a video clip of an individual claiming to be a doctor detained in al-Hol camp. Subsequently, Al Jazeera aired a new segment portraying him as an innocent civilian—an “angel from heaven.”

However, a review of archived video footage revealed another recording of the same individual, originating from Al-Furat Network, in which he appears clearly among the ranks of the ISIS terrorist organization. This exposes a fundamental contradiction in the media narratives circulated regarding his identity and status.

🔴 Details:
• The recently circulated clip was presented as depicting a civilian detainee held in al-Hol prison/camp during the period of control by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
• In contrast, an older video shows the same individual as a militant within ISIS, issuing direct threats against unarmed civilian populations, vowing retribution, killing, slaughter, and forced displacement, calling for the imposition of what he terms “Sharia law,” and stating: “We are the subjects of the Commander of the Faithful; we support our brothers in the Islamic State; we fight in the cause of God and to elevate the word ‘There is no god but God,’ to defeat these few riffraff,” using this language to describe local civilians.
• The match in facial features, voice, and contextual indicators confirms that both recordings belong to the same person.

Recasting ISIS operatives as “civilians” or “victims of detention,” while omitting their past and their direct involvement in crimes, constitutes a recurring pattern of media disinformation. This practice aims to launder the image of the organization and its members and to manipulate Arab and international public opinion.

The de facto authority in Damascus, along with its affiliated media platforms, continues to rely on disinformation and the fabrication of misleading narratives rather than adhering to professional standards and accountability. This represents an attempt to whitewash a record deeply tied to terrorism and grave violations, without any genuine change in conduct or practice.

The mouthpieces of the de facto authority, along with certain Arab media channels, are key contributors to the media and on-the-ground recycling of terrorism—at the expense of victims and their right to truth and justice.

This report documents the same individual, belonging to the al-Bousraya tribe, and affiliated with the terrorist factions of the so-called Ministry of Defense, who carried out the abduction and enslavement of Kurdish women, after previously promoting false narratives claiming their “defection” from the SDF.
He later re-published the same video accompanied by an inciting voiceover recorded in his own voice, containing explicit calls to sell these Kurdish women, using degrading and racist language, with a stated time frame of three days and humiliating expressions reducing their value to that of a radish.
These acts constitute public incitement to enslavement and human trafficking, amounting to grave violations of international humanitarian law and women’s rights, and reveal a systematic pattern of sectarian crimes targeting the Kurdish community.
All entities loyal to the terrorist de facto authority bear full legal responsibility for these crimes, committed amid international silence and ongoing media complicity.
