Syria has freed 265 detainees "involved" in the popular uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, "but who do not have blood on their hands," the state news agency SANA reported on Saturday.
Releasing detainees is a requisite of the six-point peace plan brokered by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan last month, as is the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on April 12 but has suffered violations ever since.
At least 4,000 prisoners have been freed since November, according to SANA.
