A man, identified as Ali Ahmad Khaled al-Rahil from al-Sanamayn city in northern rural Daraa governorate, was shot dead on October 15, 2024, by unidentified gunmen from a passing motorbike in his home city. The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that Ali is a civilian who had never been involved with any military formation. However, there have been accusations about him being involved in the drug trade.
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.
