Muhammad Mesleh al Wakaa, a 27-year-old displaced man from al Qouriya city in east of Deir Ez-Zour governorate, was shot dead on June 29, 2021, by unidentified gunmen in Section 4 of al Hawl IDP Camp near al Hawl town in the eastern suburbs of Hasaka governorate which is currently controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces.
SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses and survivors 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.
