The Sisters’ House on the Syrian Coast: Systematic Abduction of Alawite Women

The Sisters' House on the Syrian Coast: Systematic Abduction of Alawite Women

Source: DW Arabic

The issue of unlicensed proselytizing entities in Syria transcends traditional legal frameworks to become a direct threat to the structure of society. The case of “The Sisters’ House” (or the Sisters’ Abode) in the Syrian coast has transformed from a mere mysterious headquarters into an entity practicing suspicious activities in the shadows. This case opens the door to alarming questions regarding operations of systematic abduction specifically targeting women from the Alawite sect, proceeding in tandem with a suspicious silence and complicity from government security apparatuses.

Systematic Abduction: Targeting Alawite Women on the Coast

The case of the young woman, “Batoul Alloush,” stands as the most prominent incident revealing the dimensions of the systematic targeting taking place in the Syrian coast; the matter represents a confrontation with an organized operation of ideological and physical abduction. Data and testimonies from residents in the region confirm the existence of a “systematic abduction mechanism” that relies on the total isolation of Alawite girls, followed by their transfer to headquarters far from societal oversight under religious pretexts.

The dimensions of this abduction were manifested in the video recording in which Batoul Alloush appeared wearing a full Islamic niqab covering her features, speaking in a language charged with radical terminology such as “a migrant for the sake of God”. This sudden appearance reflects the scale of the scheme managed within headquarters shrouded in mystery, aiming for ideological engineering and the erasure of the identity of Alawite women to transform them into tools for ideological projects foreign to their original environment.

Vague Legal Status and Absence of Oversight

The real danger lies in the fact that these centers operate as completely closed environments, preventing any communication with the outside world while targeting women in sensitive age groups. In light of the absence of accurate information regarding whether this house has obtained an official license or not, its activities remain far from direct institutional oversight. This legal ambiguity leaves the fate of these women unknown, as they are completely and immediately disappeared from their previous academic and social lives, confirming the hypothesis of organized and systematic abduction in the region.

Security Complicity: Official Cover for Ghostly Entities

In the face of these dangers, the most important question arises regarding the role of the authority and security apparatuses: how can residential headquarters and entities that adopt this ideology, operating under complete legal haziness, move with total freedom in an area subject to the control of security agencies?

The Syrian government’s silence and its justification of these acts can only be classified as a form of systematic complicity. While activists and opinion-holders are persecuted, these proselytizing cells that abduct Alawite women and work on engineering their ideology are left to tamper with the social fabric. This systematic oversight reflects a clear desire by the authority to use these groups as cards for pressure and fragmentation, without any regard for the catastrophic consequences of this abduction on the future of the country.

“The Sisters’ House” and the system it represents are black holes within which the minds and bodies of Alawite women are abducted to be reshaped and their ideology changed away from the eyes of the law and society. The full responsibility lies with the ruling authority that legitimizes the existence of these ghostly entities through silence, opening the door to a new wave of systematic abduction under the cover of darkness.
