ALEPPO, Syria — Hassan al-Sheikh and Khaled al-Jajah are two Syrian young men who are looking at death sentences issued by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) on charges of collaborating with the US-led international coalition. The two men had been arrested nearly a year ago in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib, which is under HTS control.
Sheikh and Jajah hail from the city of Maarat al-Numan in Idlib countryside. They were former fighters in the ranks of the 13th Division of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
