Unidentified gunmen tried to abduct a Civil Police staff member named as Ismail al Mustafa on November 8, 2020, while he was returning home from work in the vicinity of Jarablos city in the eastern suburbs of Aleppo governorate, shooting him dead as he attempted to flee. 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.
