Syrians protest against al-Raqqa's new rulers
- 11 years ago
Syrians in al-Raqqa, a stronghold for fighters linked to al-Qaeda, are holding protests against their new rulers.
They are accusing the fighters of abuses and unjustified detentions.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, one of al Qaeda's two official affiliates operating in Syria, has imposed its authority in the northern city for the past four months.
Al-Raqqa is the only provincial capital no longer under the government's control.
