A man from Tafas city in the western suburbs of Daraa governorate, named as Muhammad al Mezyad al Bardan, who was amongst those who had previously agreed on a settlement of their status with the Syrian regime, was shot dead by unknown gunmen on the road linking Tafas city and al Mzayreeb town in the governorate on October 26, 2020. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR condemns all killings which target civilians 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 and reveal their findings to the public. Stability will not be achieved in Syria without achieving a political transition towards democracy and the rule of law, implemented according to a strict timetable.
