Syrian channels report that the regime of Ahmad al-Sharaa has granted a Ramadan legal amnesty to a large number of terrorists, including foreign jihad fighters.
Among the most prominent is Abu Dujana al-Turkistani, commander of the Uzbek jihadist faction “Muhajir Tactical,” composed mainly of fighters from Central Asia — Uzbeks, Tajiks and Kyrgyz. According to the reports, Abu Dujana led foreign jihad fighters in the massacre in the Alawite coastal cities. He was later imprisoned under Western and American pressure due to concerns over the threat posed by foreign fighters.
What is emerging, critics say, is a familiar “revolving door” pattern — imprisoning terrorists under pressure, only to release them at a politically convenient moment.
Despite reported requests from President Trump to expel foreign jihad fighters, the Syrian leadership has allegedly refused. Instead, the regime is said to be moving toward granting Syrian citizenship to these fighters and integrating them into the national army. Some have reportedly already received citizenship and been incorporated into state and military institutions.
