Unidentified gunmen killed a 13-year-old boy, Bilal Hussein Hamoud al Dehesh, from al Hariji village in northern Deir Ez-Zour governorate, and wounded his father in gunfire in the village on August 28, 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.
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.
