Nayel Ahmad al Salman was killed and his child severely wounded on February 3, 2022, by the explosion of a landmine planted by an unknown party near his car to the south of al Mata’iya village in the southeastern suburbs of Daraa governorate. The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses to the incident for more details.
SNHR calls on the controlling forces to shoulder their responsibility for protecting civilians in areas under their control, to reveal the sites of all buried 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.
