A child from Breisha village in the northern suburbs of Aleppo suburbs, named as Munib Wael al Kartah, died on July 21, 2020, in a Turkish hospital due to wounds sustained in a massacre that took place on July 19, 2020, when a car bomb of so-far unknown origin exploded near the Dawwar Sejjo area around one kilometer from the Bab al Salama Syrian-Turkish border crossing. The area is located near the village of Sejjo, also known as al Salama village, which is administratively a part of Izaz city in the northern suburbs of Aleppo governorate. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR condemns all explosions of this nature which target and kill civilians in a brutal and indiscriminate manner, and calls on the governing forces in each area to bear responsibility for protecting civilians in the areas under their control, and to conduct investigations into all such incidents and reveal their findings to the public. Stability will not be achieved in Syria without achieving a political transition towards democracy implemented according to a strict timetable.
