A boy, identified as 14-year-old Abdullatif Mohammad al-Nasser, was shot dead on April 1, 2024, by gunmen we have not yet been able to identify in front of his family’s house in their hometown of Inkhil in northern rural Daraa governorate. The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that his brother, a regime soldier, was killed in the same incident.
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.
