Muhammad Salmo al Aboush, from al Aboush village near Tal Tamr town in the eastern suburbs of Hasaka governorate, was killed by the explosion of a landmine planted by unidentified parties while he was herding sheep in the village on April 16, 2022. The village is under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses to obtain more details of 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.
