Unidentified gunmen shot and killed Bakri Bakr al Refa’i from Nawa city in Daraa governorate’s western suburbs, near his home in the city, which is under the control of Syrian regime forces, on April 22. SNHR notes that Bakri had agreed to a security settlement with the Syrian regime forces previously.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses for more details of the incident.
SNHR condemns all killings of civilians and calls on controlling forces to assume their responsibility for protecting the civilian population in areas under their control and to launch an investigation into this incident and reveal its conclusions to the public.
There will be no stability in Syria without a genuine political process moving towards democracy, implemented according to a set timetable.
