A young girl, identified as Tasnim Ayman al Otoum from al Sanamayn city in Daraa governorate’s northern suburbs, died on March 17, 2022, due to wounds sustained earlier in the day by the explosion of a landmine planted by unknown parties near her family’s home in the city, which is under the control of the Syrian regime forces.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses for more details on the incident.
We call on the controlling forces to assume their responsibility for protecting civilians in 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 and lethal threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
