Tayseer Ahmad al Nezami*, a 48-year-old civilian from Taseel town in western Daraa governorate, owner of a gas station who had agreed a security settlement with the Syrian regime forces, was killed on August 21, 2022, after he was shot by unidentified gunmen in the town, which is controlled by Syrian regime forces.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses to obtain 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.
* According to previous information from activists, we reported that the victim’s name was Rafat Ahmad al Nezami. However, after further investigation and verification, we learned that the victim’s name was Tayseer Ahmad al Nezami, known as Abo Rafat. The news report was updated accordingly on August 24, 2022
