A man, identified as Malek Firas al-Badran al-Jabbawi from Jasim city in northern rural Daraa governorate, who worked as a barber, was shot dead on October 28, 2024, by unidentified gunmen while at his shop in Jasim city. Two children were also slightly injured in the same incident. The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (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.
