Shields of the Revolution Council
Syrian Rebel Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shields of the Revolution Council (Arabic: هيئة دروع الثورة, Hayat Duru al-Thawra) was a Syrian FSA-rebel alliance affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood of Syria. Bashar al-Assad labeled the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood as an extremist “terror” group.[3] It joined the Syrian Revolutionary Command Council on 3 August 2014.[4]
