A sixteen-year-old child, Wisam Ahmad Fassal al Shwaish, from al Hawayej village in the eastern suburbs of Deir Ez-Zour governorate was shot and killed on May 31, 2022 by unidentified gunmen near his family home in al Hawayej village, which is under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses for more details of the incident.
SNHR condemns all killings of civilians and calls on controlling forces to assume their responsibility for protecting the civilian population in areas under their control and to launch an investigation into this incident and reveal its conclusions to the public.
There will be no stability in Syria without a genuine political process moving towards democracy, implemented according to a set timetable.
