Two men, identified respectively as 40-year-old Mohammad Ismail al-Nassar and 33-year-old Omar Raed al-Shehadat, were shot dead on October 4, 2023, by gunmen we have not been able to identify in the market in their home city of al-Sanamayn in northern rural Daraa governorate.
The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces. The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident. We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities for protecting civilians in their areas, to investigate this incident, and to make the findings of the investigation known to the public. Syria will never have true stability without a genuine political transition process towards democracy within a fixed timetable.
