Families of the Tunisian insurgents fighting in Syria by the side of al-Nusra Front organized a protest on Thursday in front of the National Constituent Assembly.

Protesters expressed refusal of the lenient measures taken by the Tunisian authorities which allowed their sons to be able to easily move to fight in Syria.

The protest came as the number of the killed Tunisian in Syria increased to more than 50.

The families called for retrieving their sons who they say “were deceived by some religious preachers and media satellite outlets,” although the Tunisian law prohibits joining any foreign army or movement to fight.

In turn, the Syrian authorities consider the foreign militant mercenaries as terrorists and vowed to crush them in every corner across Syria.

The number and the identities of the foreign insurgents in Syria have always been announced by the Syrian government.

Tunisian Delegation Visits Syrian Jails

In the same context, a Tunisian delegation of media figures, civil society activists and families of the Tunisian insurgents fighting in Syria continued its visit to the crisis-hit country.

The families met their sons in the Syrian jails in Damascus. The meeting that lasted for three hours was poignantly emotional. The Tunisian insurgents apologized to their parents who left loaded with a hope that their sons will return home free of the salafist ideological mobilization.

The delegation is expected to meet the Syrian President Bashar al- Assad, who is to take a decision regarding the insurgents’ release.
