A woman from Slouk town in the northern suburbs of Raqqa governorate, named as Samiyah al Rajab, died on August 22, 2020, due to wounds sustained on August 20, 2020, when a car bomb of so-far unknown origin exploded in a local market in the town. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses and survivors to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR condemns all attacks of this nature which target and kill civilians in a brutal and indiscriminate manner, and calls on the governing forces in each area to bear responsibility for protecting civilians in the areas under their control, and to conduct investigations into all such incidents and reveal their findings to the public. Stability will not be achieved in Syria without achieving a political transition towards democracy implemented according to a strict timetable.
