Press Release
Arrest of Engineer Mushir Abu al-Laban at the Hands of the Military Council in the city of Ma'arat al-Nu'man
(Translated)

On the orders of Murad Tanari, head of the Military Council in the city of Ma'arat al-Nu'man, a group of his followers arrested Engineer Mushir Abu al-Laban (Abu Hazem) on the night of 15/6/2018 during the distribution of a press release entitled "Military Council in the City of Ma'arat al-Nu'man Lines up Behind the Tyrants in its War against Hizb ut Tahrir" which confirms what came in the release of him following the policy of repression and muzzling the mouths. Engineer Mushir Abu Laban was twice arrested by the tyrant of Ash-Sham the father, and once by the tyrant of Ash-Sham the son. And here he is now being arrested by the Military Council in the city of Ma'arat al-Nu'man; yet he was expelled from the city of Homs to the North of Syria as a result of truces and negotiations in which the faction leaders participated as if he were responsible for this displacement; and as if he were the one who went to Astana and Geneva to sell the sacrifices of Ash-Sham people in the international conferences “market”; and as if he were the one who concluded the truces, negotiated and abided by the red lines that prevent any serious work on the coast and Damascus; and as if he were the one who surrendered Aleppo and Ghouta and east of Al-Sikkah; and as if he was the one who ignited factional fighting to shed blood rivers at the hands of each other; as if he is the one who receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from the intelligence of supporting states; and as if he is responsible for what the revolution of Ash-Sham has become!!

O Muslims in Ash-Sham the Abode of Islam, O our people in the city of Ma'arat al-Nu'man:

You are all now fully aware of the reality. For the revolution of Ash-Sham is a revealing and baring revolution that left nothing to be revealed, and whoever thought that salvation lies in the reliance on the decisions of the international community is deluded, for Allah Almighty says:

(وَلَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُونَ)

“And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped.” [Hud: 113].

And whoever believed that happiness lies outside the framework of the rules of Allah Almighty he is deluded, for the Almighty said:

(وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى)

“And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.’” [Ta-Ha: 124]

And whoever believed that silence acquiesces before Allah Almighty he is deluded, it was reported from Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

«وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَتَأْمُرُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَتَنْهَوُنَّ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، أَوْ لَيُوشِكَنَّ اللهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عِقَابًا مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ تَدْعُونَهُ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَكُمْ»

“By Whom in Whose hand is my soul, you shall enjoin Ma’ruf and you shall forbid Munkar, or Allah may send His punishment upon you, then you will supplicate to Him and He will not answer your prayers.”

And we in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Syria remind the Military Council in the city of Ma'arat al-Nu'man that the consequences of oppression are terrible before Allah Almighty, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection

(يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ)

“On a Day when their tongues, their hands and their feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do.” [An-Nur: 24]
