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.[1] It joined the Syrian Revolutionary Command Council on 3 August 2014.[3]
In March 2014, the Fatiheen Brigade, Eman Brigade and Sihem al-Haq Brigade, previously affiliated with the Shields, split from the group and joined the newly formed Sham Legion alliance.[4] [5]
