A man, named as Muhammad Mahmoud al Bakran al Ali, died on March 30, 2021, due to wounds inflicted on March 28, 2021, when a landmine of so-far unknown origin exploded near the car he was travelling in near al Nayrab town in the southern suburbs of Idlib governorate, which is under the joint control of factions of the Armed Opposition and Hay’at Tahrir al Sham. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR calls on the governing forces in each area to bear responsibility for protecting civilians in the areas under their control, to reveal the sites of planted landmines and to remove them. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which will continue to constitute a real threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
