A judge, named as Faisal Khalil al Halawat, was shot dead on August 26, 2021, by unidentified gunmen in Nawa city in the western suburbs of Daraa governorate which is controlled by Syrian regime forces.
SNHR condemns all attacks of this nature which target and kill civilians 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.
