Syria releases 755 detainees not charged with killing.
Middle East
The Syrian government Wednesday released a total of 755 prisoners arrested during the months-old unrest, who "didn't have blood on their hands," the official SANA news agency reported.
The Syrian authorities have since November set free as many as 2,847 detainees, as a part of the government's pledges to release those arrested during the ten-month-old unrest.
The release topped protestors' demands and was stipulated in a deal concluded of late between the Syrian government and the Arab League ministerial committee to end the crisis in Syria.
Since taking office in July 2000, President Bashar al-Assad has ordered to release hundreds of political detainees.
