The Syrian opposition has made an important decision regarding women.

The armed opposition command in Syria prohibits the forced wearing of the hijab for women, local newspaper Al-Watan reports. Representatives of the rebels demand that the rights of citizens to freely choose their clothing be respected.

«The main command categorically forbids forcing women to dress in certain clothing or interfering with their right to choose clothing, or making demands related to their appearance,» the opposition representatives add.

According to Le Figaro, former Prime Minister of Syria Riad Hijab may take the position of head of the country's government during a transitional period. He had previously served as head of the Cabinet of Ministers from 2012 to 2012.

Earlier, Reuters reported, citing sources among diplomats and opposition members, that the Syrian opposition had warned Turkey about its plans for an offensive.

After the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, the rebels released all prisoners from military prisons. Videos of the release of prisoners appeared on social media, among whom were women and even a child.
