UPDATE:
A car bomb near Bab Sharqi in Damascus. Video circulating shows the aftermath of the explosion. Reportedly, at least three STG soldires were killed.

The families of the abductees held by the Damascus government are staging a sit-in in the city of Kobani, demanding the release of their children and rejecting any bargaining over the issue of the abductees.

So far, the Damascus government, under orders from Turkey, continues to delay the release of the abductees and attempts to use them as a tool of pressure and bargaining against the Kurdish people and their leadership.
