A 17-year-old child, named as Abdul Rahman Abboud al Ali al Saleh, from al Sh-heil city in the eastern suburbs of Deir Ez-Zour governorate, was shot dead by unknown gunmen in the city on October 28, 2020. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR condemns all attacks of this nature which target and kill 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 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.
