Mustafa Arab, aged 55, from Afrin city in the north of Aleppo governorate, was killed on February 14, 2022 by the explosion of a landmine left by unknown parties in the area between the villages of Keimar and Sogonaka near Afrin city, which separates areas under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Syrian National Army.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses for more details on the incident.
We call on the controlling forces to assume their responsibility for protecting civilians in areas under their control, to reveal the sites of planted landmines, and to remove them. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which will continue to constitute a real threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
