The Ahrar Houran Gathering, quoting a “confidential source,” reported that the Military Security Branch had arrested Saadi in the middle of November, releasing him after 13 days of detention in the branch’s building in Daraa.
The source explained that the military security released him after pressure from the elders of the region to find out the reason for his arrest. He was assassinated several days after his release from detention.
The source suggested that the military security forces were involved in the assassination of the sheikh, as he is a legal figure in the region.
