A man identified as Aboud al-Eisa al-Abd al-Saleh from al-Masrab town in western rural Deir Ez-Zour governorate, was killed on March 23, 2024, by the explosion of a landmine of as yet unidentified source while searching for desert truffles in the badiya or desert area around al-Bashri in western Deir Ez-Zour governorate. 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.
