Syrian activist Yasmin Bennishi has been released after 12 days of detention by a rebel group at Bab al-Hawa border crossing, Zaman al-Wasl source said.

 

The Islamic movement of Ahrar al-Sham, which controls the strategic crossing with Turkey, arrested Bennish when she was trying with two female activists to enter Turkey.

 

The 12-day detention sparked outrage among opposition activists on social media.

 

Over the course of the war in Syria, the Bab al-Hawa border crossing was a frequent place of crossing for Syrians trying to reach the refugee camp in nearby Reyhanli.
