Two Iraqi civilian refugees were shot dead on November 12, 2021, by unidentified gunmen in the reception section of al Hawl IDP Camp near al Hawl town in the eastern suburbs of Hasaka governorate which is controlled by Syrian Democratic Forces. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
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.
