A man, identified as Mahmoud Rmeih who is a Palestinian-Syrian from al-Mzayreeb town in western rural Daraa governorate, was shot dead on August 24, 2024, by unidentified gunmen in his hometown. The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that Mahmoud is a civilian. However, he had been involved in the drug trade.
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.
