A man, identified as Ziad Sayel Awad al-Ryabi, died on June 23, 2024, of wounds sustained the day before, June 22, 2024, when he was shot by gunmen we have not yet been able to identify in his 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 Ziad is 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.
