The bodies of two men, named as Abdul Hamid Abdul Karim al Lejji and Eisa al Mukhtar al Shaher, from al Bseira city in the eastern suburbs of Deir Ez-Zour governorate, were discovered by local people in the city on December 15, 2020, with both bodies bearing signs of stab wounds inflicted with a sharp implement.
Although the SNHR has so far been unable to identify the party responsible for the killings, the area is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces. Despite the controlling forces bearing responsibility for revealing the perpetrator’s identity, they have not launched any investigation, which increases the suspicion of their involvement in the killing.
