A civilian from Theyban town in eastern Deir Ez-Zour governorate, Alaa Mahmoud al Hathal, was shot and killed on July 12, 2022 by gunmen, we believe they are ISIS members, while he was on a football field in al Hawayej village in Deir Ez-Zour governorate eastern suburbs, 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.
