Layth al Mudhi, a 13-year-old boy from al Suwaidiya Kabira village of al Tabaqa city in the western suburbs of Raqqa governorate, was killed on March 16, 2022 by the blast of a landmine planted by unidentified parties in the village, which is under the control of the Syrian Democratic 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.
