Just as the Islamic State has its 'Diwan al-Khidamat' (Services Department) dedicated to the realm of public services, so too does Syria's al-Qa'ida affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra have its 'Public Administration for Services.'
The archive below of this department's documents will be continually updated, similar to the archives of Islamic State administrative documents, Jabhat al-Nusra judicial documents and Jabhat al-Nusra billboards and murals.
[Update for 2017: Jabhat al-Nusra has since evolved into Jabhat Fatah al-Sham in summer 2016 and as of January 2017 Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, which remains a jihadist entity but is no longer affiliated with al-Qa'ida. The 'Public Administration for Services' has now become 'The Civil Administration for Services.' Documents from this new body are archived here for convenience].
[Update for November 2017 and beyond: The 'Civil Administration for Services' has now evolved into the 'Salvation Government' composed of a number of ministries and backed by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham].

The Local Council for the Locality of Atmeh
Date: 20 Jumada al-Awal 1441 AH/15 January 2020 CE
In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The Almighty has said: "If they had come out among you, they would only have increased confusion among you and they would have worked through you, desiring you to fall into fitna and among you are those who listen to them. And God knows well of the wrong-doers."
In view of what the region is going through from the escalation of Assadist, Iranian and Russian criminality from killing and displacement of our Muslim people in the liberated north, there are some groups helping the regime by lighting the fuse of fitna among the people in the locality of Atmeh and therefore we- the local council in the locality of Atmeh- issue this statement:
Hizb-ut-Tahrir is banned from undertaking any activities within the locality of Atmeh and that is for the following reasons:
1. The party exploits every opportunity to plant fitna and attack the mujahideen.
2. Their words are constantly filled with accusations of betrayal and causing agitation.
3. Their hatred for some of the factions and their harbouring of slogans against them.
4. They attack the mujahideen from all the factions and we have never seen them on the fighting fronts.
5. They exploit women and children to promote their slogans and light up fitna while they sit in their homes.
And God is the One behind the intention.
