Hundreds of supporters loyal to Assad have been locked cages by militant Islamists

Women & Men loyal to President Assad in a besieged
region of Damascus are being paraded in metal cages in
the hope of preventing further air- strikes raining down
on a stricken suburb of the Syrian capital. Almost 500
Alawites have been rounded up by ISIS militants and are
now being held captive in the cubed jails mounted on
the back of flat-bed trucks and pick-ups. The locals see
this extreme retaliation as the only way of ensuring the
airborne attacks are ended.
