A man, identified as 40-year-old Firas Fares Mohammad Khair al-Mhasna from Jasim city in northern rural Daraa governorate, was shot dead on March 16, 2024, by gunmen we have not yet been able to identify in al-Sanamayn city in northern Daraa governorate, where he had lived with his family for years. The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that Firas was a civilian who had never been involved with any military formation.
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 investigation’s findings known to the public. Syria will never have true stability without a genuine political transition process towards democracy within a fixed timetable.
