A man, identified as Salah al-Attous from Raqqa city, was shot dead on August 21, 2024, by unidentified gunmen from a passing car while he was leaving his house in al-Kherba Alley in his home city. The area is under the control of Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that Salah was a former armed opposition fighter.
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.
