A man, named as Khaled Thiab al Bazou, was shot on May 10 dead by unidentified gunmen in an attack on civilians near Bayyoud village in the eastern suburbs of Hama governorate, an area controlled by Syrian regime forces, with the attackers also killing 50 sheep.
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.
