Unclear how many inmates in prison, said to contain many children

Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces troops aided by U.S. troops tightened their siege of a prison housing Islamic State suspects after inmates took over the facility, residents and officials said on Sunday.

It said on Sunday the death toll of its fighters rose to 27 with over 160 of the attackers alongside 15 inmates killed in the deadliest rioting in detention centres holding thousands of suspected militants arrested after they were defeated with U.S. support in north and east Syria. Arab tribal figures in touch with residents in the area said U.S. coalition troops had taken over positions around the prison and planes were seen flying overhead.

The U.S.-based Human Rights Watch says the SDF holds about 12,000 men and boys suspected of Islamic State affiliation, including 2,000 to 4,000 foreigners from almost 50 countries. “We call for the release of children from prison. Detention of children should only be a measure of last resort and for the shortest time possible,” Bo Viktor Nylund, UNICEF Syria Representative, said in a statement.
