The incident occurred due to his singing, previously, for the Syrian army during the era of the former Syrian regime, and his accusation of ‘thuggery’ according to circulating news. Meanwhile, activists mentioned that Khairi’s arrest was due to ‘singing being forbidden.’ This is not the first time such incidents have occurred in Syria. Previously, videos have shown arrests and assaults on civilians in recent days, as the controversy continues over the circumstances of young Yousef Al-Labad’s arrest and death in the capital, Damascus, in addition to news of the arrest of young Abdulrazak Thalji by individuals claiming to be affiliated with the General Security.
